Tension headaches, pressure that builds through the day, tightness that starts at the base of the skull, we look at the neck and spine driving it, not just the symptom.
Many of the headaches we see trace back to the upper neck and the muscles around the base of the skull. Long hours at a screen, stress and poor sleep posture leave this area tight and restricted, and the result is a familiar band of pressure or ache.
Reaching for relief works in the moment, but it doesn’t change what’s driving the pattern. We focus on the mechanics underneath so the headaches have a reason to settle.
We assess the neck, upper back and the muscles around the skull to find where movement is restricted. Gentle adjustments and targeted care help release that tension and reduce the mechanical load that keeps the headaches coming back.
No mystery, no guesswork, a considered process built around what your body needs.
We map your headache pattern against how your neck and upper spine move.
You’ll understand what’s likely driving them and how we can help.
Gentle, focused care with guidance to reduce triggers between visits.
Headaches can arise from numerous conditions. We work to assess and address the root causes through a thorough evaluation and a personalised treatment plan.
Chiropractic care is an effective, drug-free treatment option for headache relief. By restoring proper alignment to the spine and improving joint function, adjustments can ease muscle tension, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Our goal is to treat the underlying causes of your headaches, not just mask the symptoms.
The most common type, often triggered by stress, poor posture or neck muscle tension. They typically feel like a tight band around the head, often with pain at the base of the skull or forehead. Care can relieve muscle tension and reduce how often they occur.
Severe, recurrent headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and light sensitivity. Treatment may involve spinal adjustments to reduce nerve irritation and soft tissue therapy to ease tension in the neck and upper back.
Caused by dysfunction in the neck, these often present with pain that starts in the neck and radiates to the head. Spinal manipulation, soft tissue work and posture correction help by addressing the joint dysfunction.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, a detailed history, a physical examination and, where appropriate, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays. At your Report of Findings visit we walk you through what’s going on, how we can help, and what to expect including timeline and costs.
By maintaining spinal health, improving posture and reducing stress, care can help prevent headaches recurring. We also offer lifestyle recommendations, including posture correction, ergonomic advice and stress management techniques.
