Our Approach
How we assess it
We start with a thorough history and examination — checking how your neck and upper back move, where the pain is coming from, and screening for anything that needs further investigation. Dr Elvin will explain what's going on and whether chiropractic care is right for you.

When to see a chiropractor

Neck Pain — FAQ
Can chiropractic help neck pain and headaches?
Often, yes. Many headaches are cervicogenic — they originate from the joints and muscles of the neck. By helping to restore movement and ease tension in the upper neck, chiropractic care may reduce both neck pain and the headaches that come with it. Dr Elvin will assess whether your headaches are neck-related at your first visit.
Is neck treatment gentle?
Dr Elvin tailors the technique to you, and takes a thorough history and examination before any treatment. If you'd prefer, we offer gentle, low-force and instrument-assisted options rather than traditional manual adjustment.
I sit at a desk all day — can you help 'tech neck'?
Yes. Neck pain from prolonged screen and desk work is one of the most common problems we see. Alongside hands-on treatment, we'll give you posture advice and simple exercises to reduce strain between visits.
How many visits will I need?
Most acute neck pain settles within a few visits over two to four weeks. Longstanding or recurring pain may take longer. We don't sell prepaid packages.
