Whether you’ve been living with persistent pain, managing flare-ups from an old injury or just feel like something “isn’t right,” the Pain Clinic at Startline is here to help. Our goal isn’t just to treat the symptoms, it’s to understand what’s causing them and support you in building long-term relief.
Because when you understand pain, you can start to take control of it.
What we treat:
Chronic pain – get answers to and relief from that stubborn pain
Persistent postural back pain & neck pain from sedentary work
Nerve pain, including sciatica or referred pain
Tension-related pain (e.g. headaches, jaw, shoulder tension)
Pain following injury or surgery that hasn’t resolved
Ongoing flare-ups or movement-related discomfort
We know that pain can be frustrating, overwhelming, and sometimes isolating. That’s why our promise to you is simple: real support, real answers and care that lasts.
At Startline, we combine osteopathy, rehab exercises and, where appropriate, medical acupuncture to create a tailored treatment plan that meets you where you are and helps you take back control of your life without the ongoing burden of pain.
We know pain can be confusing – especially when it lingers or doesn’t seem to match your scans or diagnosis. If you’re wondering “Why does it still hurt?” – you’re not alone.
Here’s the good news: pain isn’t always about damage. It’s about protection.
If you’re curious, we’ve explained it below using the latest understanding from pain science experts like David Butler and Professor Lorimer Moseley.
Keep reading to learn how pain works and how that knowledge can help you take control.
When you get injured, your body sends danger signals to your brain. But your brain is the one that decides if something feels painful. And sometimes, especially if pain has lasted a while, your brain can become overprotective, sending pain signals even when your tissues are healed or not in danger.
This can happen for lots of reasons:
That doesn’t mean the pain isn’t real, it absolutely is. But it means the cause might not be just physical. And that’s actually good news. Because it means there’s more we can do to help you manage it, move through it, and understand it, not just treat the symptoms.
