There are so many perspectives on the treatment of neck pain that it is always worth trying different approaches until you find one that works for you. If you are struggling to find effective neck pain treatment near you, the best advice we can give is to be patient and persistent. One of the secrets to doing this right is knowing that, to some extent, no two physiotherapists, osteopaths or chiropractors treat neck pain the same way. So it is always worth trying out multiple clinics, even if they are all from the same profession. But what if you really can’t find effective neck pain treatment near you? Thousands of people go onto internet search engines each year and type in the fateful phrase ‘neck pain treatment near me’. A growing number of these individuals fail miserably in this endeavour and travel much further afield to get treatment for their neck pain, but is it worth it?

Access to the proper treatment when you have neck pain is vital. Not only that, it is essential that that treatment be available to you over time. Unlike getting a filling at the dentist, fully rehabilitating a chronic neck pain issue takes time. Working with the right clinicians is almost like working with the correct Personal Trainer; you can’t go and see the right PT once and expect to have 6-pack abs. It’s putting in reps that create change regarding neck pain, which is a big part of why it is so much better if you can get neck pain treatment near you.

Over time, we gradually see more people at our clinic who resort to travelling long distances for treatment with us. Every week we see people from as far away as Napier, Auckland and Christchurch who have decided to travel back and forth for treatment. The obvious elephant in the room is the number of pain clinics, physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths and doctors far closer to these people than our clinic. It seems like something is up here because while we are undoubtedly good at what we do, it’s not as if we walk on water, if you know what I mean. The reasons why so many people in NZ give up on the ‘neck pain near me’ Google search and resort to travelling for treatment are probably numerous and definitely beyond the scope of this short rambling blog. The critical point is that for these people, it is a highly frustrating and often downright distressing situation that leads them to travel for treatment.

Part of the reason that we see such a steady increase in the time and distance people are travelling for neck pain treatment is the Internet. For all its faults, the Internet has many fantastic qualities, and it has changed the world fundamentally. Until recently, we only had to take our doctor’s word for everything they told us about our health. Now, in a short number of years, we have access to essentially all of the health research and expert opinion we could ever hope to because it’s all available on the Internet. This ability helps people to gravitate towards the best treatment technologies of their own accord.

This ability helps people to gravitate towards the best treatment technologies of their own accord.

At our clinic, we have access to several technologies like Shockwave Therapy, Laser Therapy and Brainwave Entrainment that are still scarce in the New Zealand healthcare system. So when people research the science behind these treatments, many decide that after multiple failed Neck Pain treatments, travelling back and forth to get treatment in Wellington is worth it. The good news is that even with the logistical nightmares of travelling for regular treatment, the vast majority find that the results are well worth the hassle. On a personal note, we enjoy working with people from our town. There’s something about knowing that someone is going to great lengths to receive treatment that sharpens the clinical blade. The more hassle a person is going through, the more focus is needed in the process, and there’s nothing more satisfying than working with people who are genuinely committed to getting better. A patient travelling from city to city repeatedly to get treatment for their neck pain is always totally committed to the rehabilitation process. This not only makes for excellent outcomes, but it also makes for a satisfying process. 

We’ve noticed something interesting over time: we have a fractionally higher hit rate in resolving the neck pain of people who travel from out of town than we do with locals. This may be because the mindset that a person develops once they have decided to go in and out of town to get treatment for their neck pain is precisely the right mindset needed for consistent and lasting rehabilitation. In many ways, resolving chronic neck pain is like resolving chronic obesity; both take a great deal of tenacity and in both cases, once a person has decided that they’re going to get healthy, no matter what, they seldom fail.
