FAQs

Common questions

Do I need a scan or X-ray for back pain?

Most back and neck pain doesn't need a scan, a good assessment tells us what's going on. If we think imaging is needed, we'll point you in the right direction.

Is it safe to stay active with back pain?

In most cases, gentle movement helps more than resting completely. We'll show you what's safe and help you stay as active as you comfortably can.

Can physio help with headaches from my neck?

Often, yes. Tension and neck-related (cervicogenic) headaches frequently respond well to physio aimed at the neck and surrounding muscles.
