What your first neck pain appointment may involve

  2. Examination — neck movement and strength, specific tests, neurological screening where indicated, screening of shoulder and thoracic spine.
  3. Discussion — what's likely going on, whether imaging or medical review is appropriate.
  4. Plan — proposed sessions, what to try at home.
  5. Initial treatment — manual therapy, exercise, posture and ergonomic advice.

Neck pain physiotherapy treatment may include

  • Manual therapy of the cervical and thoracic spine
  • Specific neck-strengthening exercises (deep neck flexors, scapular control)
  • Posture, driving and ergonomic adjustments, with advice consistent with public resources such as healthdirect Australia's neck pain guidance
  • Vestibular rehabilitation where dizziness is part of the picture (available at Melton)
  • Dry needling where suitable

Neck pain physiotherapy FAQs

Should I get an X-ray or MRI first?

For most neck pain, imaging doesn't change the early management. Imaging is appropriate where red flag features are present or where conservative care hasn't worked.

How long does whiplash take to recover?

Variable — many cases improve within weeks; some take longer. We discuss timeframes at the first appointment.

Can physio help if my neck pain is causing headaches?

Sometimes — particularly for cervicogenic headache. See our headache and migraine physio page.
