Dr Brad Corbett provides osteopathic assessment and treatment to help reduce discomfort, improve mobility and support a return to the activities that matter to you.     [Book Appointment](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/book-appointment?hsLang=en-au) ## Back Pain Back pain may occur suddenly, develop gradually or become recurrent. It can present as aching, stiffness, restricted movement or discomfort with particular activities and positions. Assessment considers your symptoms, health history and relevant movement and function to help understand what may be contributing to your pain and guide your care. ## Neck Pain Neck pain may involve pain, stiffness or restricted movement and can sometimes be accompanied by tension through the shoulders and upper back. As with back pain, there can be a number of contributing factors. Assessment helps determine what is relevant to your presentation and whether osteopathic treatment is appropriate. ## What Can Contribute to Back & Neck Pain? Back and neck pain does not always have a single cause. Factors that may be relevant include: ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Injury or physical strain ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Long periods in one position  ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Repetitive movements  ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Changes in activity or exercise  ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Previous injuries or flare-ups  ![Bodies in Balance Tick Icon](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png?width=30&height=20&name=Bodies%20in%20Balance%20Tick%20Icon.png)Work or sporting demands  ## Osteopathic Treatment & Rehabilitation Your care begins with a comprehensive health history and physical assessment. Brad will discuss his findings with you, answer any questions and explain the treatment options he considers appropriate for your presentation. Treatment may include hands-on osteopathic techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, stretching and dry needling, together with movement, exercise and self-management advice. Drawing on his assessment and clinical experience, Brad will work with you to develop a treatment plan that reflects your needs, goals and preferences. If further investigation is needed, Brad can refer for diagnostic imaging such as X-ray, CT or MRI, or recommend referral to another health professional where appropriate.   ## Frequently Asked Questions Answers to some common questions about how Osteopathy can assist with back or neck pain. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions. [Contact Us](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/contact-us?hsLang=en-au) Can an osteopath help with back or neck pain? Osteopaths commonly assess and manage musculoskeletal back and neck pain. Whether osteopathic treatment is appropriate will depend on your symptoms, health history and assessment.  Do I need a referral? No. You can generally book an osteopathy appointment without a GP referral.  How many appointments will I need? This varies depending on your symptoms and circumstances. Brad will discuss your care with you and review your progress rather than recommending a predetermined number of treatments.  ##  Ready to Move More Comfortably?  Central Coast & Northern Beaches  If back or neck pain is affecting your everyday activities, work or exercise, book an appointment with Dr Brad to discuss your symptoms and treatment options.   Appointments available across the **Central Coast — Gosford & Toowoon Bay — and Northern Beaches- Elanora Heights.** [Book Appointment](https://www.bodiesinbalance.com.au/book-appointment?hsLang=en-au)  No GP referral required • Private health rebates available.
