What We Treat

Common Conditions We See from Eagle Vale

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

Back Pain

Common Causes

Poor posture from prolonged sitting or standing
Muscle strains and ligament sprains
Disc bulges or herniation
Degenerative disc disease
Sciatica (nerve compression)

How We Treat It

Our physiotherapists and chiropractors conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the exact source of your back pain. Treatment typically combines hands-on manual therapy to restore movement, dry needling to release tight muscles, and a progressive exercise program to strengthen supporting muscles and prevent recurrence. We take a whole-person approach — addressing posture, movement patterns, and lifestyle factors that contribute to back pain.

What to Expect

Most patients experience significant relief within 4–8 sessions. Acute back pain typically resolves in 4–6 weeks. Chronic back pain requires a longer-term rehabilitation approach (8–12 weeks) with an exercise program for sustained results.

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.

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.
