Neck Pain and Headaches

Discover Lasting Relief

We Understand Your Pain

At The Oak Practice, we understand the persistent struggle of dealing with neck pain and headaches. Living with constant discomfort can be overwhelming. Despite trying different treatments, the relief doesn’t stick around for long. It is quite frustrating to be unable to make the most of life due to pain. The disappointment and despair is actually more than we think. We have come here to offer a real solution.

Struggling with Neck Pain and Headaches

Most people resort to temporary fixes like painkillers, massages, or quick adjustments that offer only fleeting relief. They often cycle through different treatments, hoping for a miracle cure, yet the pain always returns. This endless search can be disheartening and exhausting. Clients expect quick solutions but are met with recurring symptoms. Traditional methods often miss the interconnected nature of their pain, failing to address the root causes and leading to continued suffering.

I've been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for a long time now, especially a burning feeling in my trapezius muscle. I tried physiotherapy, massages, and medications, but nothing really helped. So, I finally went to see Stephen at The Oak Practice because the pain was getting worse. Stephen carefully reviewed my history and symptoms, and then started targeted treatments like acupuncture and manual release. Since then, I've noticed a big improvement. The shooting pains and inflammation have reduced, and the tightness in my jaw and shoulders is much better. Stephen also gave me exercises to help manage the tension. Now, I wake up with less pain, and my neck and shoulders feel more relaxed. The burning in my shoulder blade has gotten much better. Thanks to Stephen's help at The Oak Practice, dealing with my chronic pain is easier now, and I can do more things without hurting as much.

I struggled with neck pain and headaches every day for months, and it made everything harder. Meeting Stephen at The Oak Practice was a big deal for me because I needed relief so badly. My neck was stiff, and my temples throbbed almost daily. I had tried different treatments before, but nothing provided lasting relief. Stephen’s approach was different. Stephen focused on relaxing the tightness in my neck and shoulders with deep tissue massage and acupuncture. I felt the difference almost instantly—my muscles were looser, and my headaches got better. Over a few sessions, the improvement continued. My neck felt more flexible, and the headaches became less frequent. Stephen also taught me exercises to maintain the benefits between visits. Thanks to the targeted treatments and Stephen's expertise at The Oak Practice, my neck pain and headaches have significantly diminished, allowing me to enjoy life with much less discomfort.

I’ve been dealing with persistent neck pain and headaches. This discomfort began after a small accident in Vienna where I slipped in the bath. Additionally, sitting on the sofa with a foam roller behind my back hasn't helped, and the indulgences in Vienna with extra drinking and eating didn't do my neck any favours. Upon arrival, Stephen reassessed my condition and asked for my consent to continue with the examination and treatment. I agreed, and he focused on releasing tension in my cervical spine and upper back. He used gentle manipulations and soft tissue techniques to alleviate the stiffness and pain. By the end of the session, I felt a significant reduction in my discomfort. Stephen also provided me with exercises to maintain flexibility and alleviate pain between sessions. Thanks to Stephen's expertise at The Oak Practice, I’m optimistic about my recovery. I’ve already noticed improvements and am looking forward to my next session to continue this progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect in my first session?

In your first session, we’ll conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your pain, medical history, lifestyle, and pain triggers. This will help us create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

How quickly will I see results?

It’s different for everyone and depends on how bad your condition is. Some people start feeling better after a few sessions, but others might need more time to see big changes.

Is the treatment painful?

Our treatments are meant to be comfortable for you. While you might feel a bit of discomfort with some techniques, most people find them okay. We care about your comfort, so we’ll change things up if you’re feeling any pain.

What are the costs involved?

Costs vary depending on the number and type of sessions required. Initial consultations are priced differently, and we can provide specific pricing details for follow up sessions during your first visit. Whilst more expensive than average therapists, we don’t expect you to need to come back for repeat visits once your problem is resolved. We try to make our treatments long lasting yet accessible and there are various payment options with you if needed.

Are there any side effects to the treatment?

Side effects are typically minimal and may include temporary soreness or mild discomfort following a session. Our practitioners will discuss any potential side effects with you and how to manage them effectively.

The number of visits often depends on the overall condition you are experiencing and your individual treatment plan. When your condition improves, you may longer need such often scheduled sessions. We’ll create a schedule tailored to your needs during your first consultation.
