What We Treat

Common Conditions We See from Douglas Park

These are the problems our Austral team treats most often for Douglas Park 2569 patients. Every treatment plan starts with a full assessment — we work out what's actually driving your pain before we treat it.

Neck Pain

Common Causes

  • Poor posture from screens and desk work
  • Neck muscle strain
  • Cervical disc herniation
  • Cervical spondylosis (wear and tear)
  • Whiplash injuries

How We Treat It

Our practitioners treat neck pain with a combination of hands-on joint mobilisation and manipulation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and postural correction. We also address contributing factors such as thoracic spine stiffness, shoulder tension, and workplace ergonomics. A personalised home exercise program helps maintain gains between appointments.

What to Expect

Acute neck pain and stiffness typically resolves within 2–4 weeks with treatment. Chronic neck pain and postural dysfunction requires a more structured rehabilitation program over 6–12 weeks.

Shoulder Pain

Common Causes

  • Rotator cuff tears or tendinopathy
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome
  • AC joint injuries
  • Biceps tendinopathy

How We Treat It

Shoulder conditions require precise diagnosis to determine the appropriate treatment approach. Our physiotherapists perform a thorough shoulder assessment including range of motion testing, strength assessment, and special orthopaedic tests. Treatment may include joint mobilisation, rotator cuff strengthening, postural correction, dry needling, and activity modification advice.

What to Expect

Recovery varies significantly by condition. Shoulder impingement typically responds within 6–10 sessions. Frozen shoulder can take 3–12 months for full resolution. Post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation typically takes 3–6 months.

Headaches & Migraines

Common Causes

  • Cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches
  • Tension headaches from muscle tightness
  • Migraine (with or without aura)
  • TMJ dysfunction
  • Postural headaches

How We Treat It

Many headaches originate from the neck and upper back — a fact that is often overlooked. Our physiotherapists and chiropractors are trained in identifying and treating cervicogenic headaches with spinal mobilisation, trigger point therapy, and postural correction. We work alongside your GP and neurologist when appropriate for migraines and complex headache presentations.

What to Expect

Cervicogenic and tension headaches typically respond within 4–8 sessions. Patients often notice a reduction in frequency and severity within the first 2–3 appointments.
