Neck Pain Physio Wollongong: Assessment and Treatment at Lume Physio

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people see a physiotherapist in Wollongong. Whether it came on after a car accident, built up from hours at a desk, or arrived with headaches you can’t shake, the team at Lume Physio can help you understand what’s going on and get on top of it.

Common Causes of Nec

  • Poor posture and desk work

  • Whiplash and motor vehicle accidents (MVA)

  • Cervicogenic headaches (headaches from the neck)

  • Muscle tightness and spasm

  • Joint stiffness and reduced range of motion

  • Nerve pain or pins and needles into the arm or hand

How Lume Physio Assesses Neck Pain

Your first appointment at Lume Physio starts with a thorough assessment. Your physiotherapist will take a detailed history, assess your posture, range of motion, and joint mobility, and test for any nerve involvement. This helps identify the exact source of your neck pain so treatment is targeted — not generic.

Neck Pain Treatment at Lume Physio

Treatment is hands-on and evidence-based. Depending on what’s driving your neck pain, your physio may use:

  • Manual therapy and joint mobilisation

  • Dry needling for tight neck and shoulder muscles

  • Cervicogenic headache treatment

  • Postural correction and ergonomic advice

  • Therapeutic exercise and strengthening

  • Whiplash rehabilitation and MVA recovery
