Malvern osteopathy with a clinical focus on neck pain and headaches

A significant portion of my clinical work involves the assessment and treatment of neck pain and headaches, including:

• Neck pain related to posture, desk work, and prolonged sitting

• Tension-type headaches

• Cervicogenic headaches

• Neck and upper back stiffness associated with stress or sustained load

• Shoulder and upper limb symptoms related to neck dysfunction

Pain can be complex, especially when it involves the neck and head. Neck pain and headaches often overlap, and many people experience symptoms that persist despite trying multiple approaches.

Douglas Osteopathy provides osteopathic care in Malvern with a particular clinical focus on neck pain and headaches, alongside the treatment of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Appointments are tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on careful assessment, hands-on treatment, and practical guidance relevant to everyday life.
