Back and neck

Back and neck pain is one of the most common reasons people visit us. The good news: most complaints improve without surgery. We look for what keeps your pain going and build a programme that fits your daily life.

Clear explanation · active approach · no unnecessary scans

Our approach

Many people with back pain worry that something is seriously wrong. We take that worry seriously and explain clearly what we find, and what we do not find.

Our approach is active: exercises that build strength and confidence, advice for work and sport, and hands-on treatment where it helps. Scans are only made when they will change the treatment.

Acute low back pain
Quick advice and treatment, so you can stay active and the pain settles faster.

How it works

  1. Referral

    For insured care at Harbour Clinic you need a referral. Your GP, company doctor or treating specialist can arrange this for you.

  2. Intake

    You meet your specialist in person. Together you map out the complaint and discuss which tests are needed.

  3. Diagnosis and plan

    You get an explanation in plain language, and a treatment plan you agree with before we go any further.

  4. Treatment and aftercare

    The same specialist carries out the treatment and sees you again at every check-up.

Frequently asked questions

About back and neck

Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, even if you do not have a referral yet.

Usually not. A scan rarely changes the treatment of back or neck pain. We arrange one when it is really useful.
In most cases staying active helps you recover faster than bed rest. We tell you what is safe.
Not for physiotherapy. For an appointment with one of our specialists you do need a referral.
Yes. We can give advice on your workstation and, if you wish, contact your company doctor.
