Understanding your symptoms
Neck pain can affect more than turning your head.
Neck pain may involve stiffness, reduced movement, upper-back or shoulder tension and sometimes headaches. These symptoms can arise for different reasons. Assessment considers your history, symptom pattern, movement and relevant neurological or physical findings before care is recommended.
Reasons people book
Common neck and headache concerns we assess.
Headaches have many possible causes. We assess whether a musculoskeletal contribution may be relevant and refer when appropriate.
Desk-related strain
Neck, upper-back or shoulder symptoms associated with sustained computer and desk work.
Headache presentations
Headaches where the neck and surrounding musculoskeletal tissues may be contributing factors.
Shoulder & upper-back tension
Symptoms involving the neck, shoulder girdle, upper back or movement between these regions.
Sport & training symptoms
Neck discomfort related to gym training, contact sport, running, cycling or return to activity.
Recurring flare-ups
Assessment of repeated episodes and practical strategies for movement, workload and self-management.
Your initial appointment
Assessment, explanation and treatment in one visit.
Treatment is included in every initial consultation after the assessment, when clinically appropriate and with your consent.
History
Discuss your symptoms, headache pattern, activities, health history and goals.
Assessment
Relevant neck, upper-back, shoulder and neurological findings are examined.
Explanation
Findings, treatment choices and any need for medical review or referral are explained.
Treatment
Appropriate treatment begins, followed by practical advice about the next steps.
Individualised care
Treatment choices that reflect your assessment and preferences.
Care may include spinal manipulation or mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, movement advice and progressive rehabilitation or exercise. Cervical manipulation is not automatically required; options, expected benefits, risks and alternatives are discussed before treatment.
No particular outcome can be guaranteed. Headaches that do not appear musculoskeletal—or that include concerning features—require appropriate medical assessment.

Meet Dr Kevin ParkFrequently asked questions
Helpful information about neck pain and headaches.
Can neck problems contribute to headaches?+
Neck pain can occur with headaches, and some headache presentations may have a musculoskeletal contribution from the neck or surrounding tissues. Headaches also have many non-musculoskeletal causes, so assessment and appropriate screening are important.
Can Dr Kevin Park assess neck pain and headaches?+
Yes. Dr Kevin Park assesses neck pain, restricted movement, upper-back or shoulder tension and headaches where a musculoskeletal contribution may be relevant. If the presentation suggests another cause or requires medical review, referral will be recommended.
Does prolonged desk work cause neck pain?+
Long periods at a computer can be associated with neck, upper-back and shoulder symptoms, but posture is only one possible factor. Assessment may consider movement, workload, breaks, workstation habits, exercise and other clinical findings.
What treatment may be used for neck pain?+
Depending on the assessment findings and your preferences, care may include spinal manipulation or mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, movement advice and rehabilitation or exercise. Techniques are selected for the individual and provided with consent.
Is neck manipulation always required?+
No. Treatment choices are discussed with you and may include mobilisation, soft-tissue techniques or exercise instead. Your preferences, health history, assessment findings and any precautions are considered before treatment.
Do I need an X-ray or scan before booking?+
Not routinely. Existing imaging can be reviewed, while new imaging or medical referral is considered when the history or examination indicates it may be appropriate or may change management.
Will treatment be provided at the initial consultation?+
Yes. Every initial consultation includes treatment after the history and physical assessment, provided it is clinically appropriate and you consent. The findings and next steps are also explained during the appointment.
How much is an initial appointment?+
The initial chiropractic consultation and treatment is 30 minutes and costs $101.50. Eligible private health insurance claims can be processed through HICAPS, and Medicare rebates may apply with a valid GP Chronic Condition Management Plan referral.
