At Live Free Wellness in Putney, we provide personalised chiropractic care for people with neck pain caused by posture, desk work, sports injuries and everyday strain. The key to improving neck pain is to understand the underlying cause and provide appropriate, targeted treatment
Neck pain can develop for many different reasons, including:
- Poor posture and prolonged desk or laptop work
- Muscle strain and overuse
- Sports or training injuries
- Whiplash or sudden movement
- Joint stiffness in the cervical spine
- Inactivity leading to weak support muscles
Irritation to the joints, discs, muscles or nerves in the neck can lead to stiffness, pain, tingling, headaches and discomfort that may travel into the shoulders or arms.
Your chiropractor will carry out a full examination and take a detailed history before recommending a personalised treatment plan based on current research and clinical experience.
Treatment for neck pain may include:
- Gentle joint mobilisation or specific chiropractic adjustments
- Soft tissue therapy including massage and myofascial release
- Trigger point therapy to reduce muscle tension
- Postural advice and movement guidance
- Exercise rehabilitation to support long-term recovery
The aim is to reduce pain, restore movement and help your neck function more comfortably.
Trapped or irritated nerves in the neck are often caused by a bulging or herniated disc placing pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spine.
Early assessment is important, as prompt treatment often improves recovery and reduces the risk of long-term symptoms..
Trapped nerves in the neck cause symptoms such as:
A deep burning or electric type pain into arm
Numbness, tingling and funny sensations on the skin
Arm and wrist muscles can often go weak (difficult to raise your arm or gripping)
Rarely, this can become permanent so prompt treatment is recommended.
Treatment may include spinal mobilisation, disc decompression techniques, soft tissue therapy and exercise rehabilitation to support the body’s natural healing processes.
We place strong emphasis on guided home exercises and movement advice to help support recovery between appointments.
If you are struggling with neck pain, stiffness, headaches or arm symptoms, we are here to help.

Neck pain can have many contributing factors, which is why assessment is important before care begins.

If further investigation or referral is needed, we’ll discuss this with you.
Chiropractic care may help some people with neck pain by improving joint movement, reducing stiffness, and addressing contributing mechanical factors.
Whether care is appropriate depends on your assessment findings and individual presentation.
Your first appointment includes a detailed history, relevant screening, and a physical assessment of your neck, posture, and movement. We’ll explain our findings clearly and discuss whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
Treatment may begin on the same day if suitable.
This varies depending on the nature of your neck pain, how long it has been present, your daily activities, and how you respond to care.
We’ll outline a plan after your assessment and review progress as we go.

Some headaches are associated with tension, stiffness, or restricted movement in the neck and upper back. We can assess whether these factors may be contributing to your symptoms and discuss suitable care options.
Migraine is a medical diagnosis, and if migraines are suspected, we recommend speaking with your GP.
Many people notice improvements in pain levels, neck movement, and confidence with daily activities. Responses vary between individuals and depend on factors such as the cause of your neck pain, how long it has been present, and your activity levels.
We’ll monitor your progress and adjust care as needed, but outcomes can’t be guaranteed.
