Migraines are complex and personal. We assess the neck and spinal contributors carefully, and we’re honest about what chiropractic care can and can’t do.
Migraines are more than a bad headache, they can bring light sensitivity, nausea and days lost to a darkened room. Their causes are layered, involving the nervous system, triggers and individual sensitivity.
For some people, tension and restriction in the upper neck is one contributing piece of the picture. Where that’s the case, addressing it can be a helpful part of a broader management plan led by you and your GP.
We start by assessing how your neck and upper back move and where that movement is being limited. Gentle adjustments restore motion to restricted segments, easing the muscles that have been working overtime to compensate.
No mystery, no guesswork, a considered process built around what your body needs.
A full assessment of neck and upper-back movement and how it’s affecting you.
We show you what we found and how care can help, with a clear timeline.
Gentle adjustments and guidance, adjusted as your range returns.
There are several reasons why you may be experiencing neck pain. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment, and we use a range of diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the source of your pain and develop a comprehensive care plan.
Chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive option for migraine sufferers. By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve irritation, treatment can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines, addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.
Typically triggered by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, with poor posture, stress and long hours of sitting as common causes. Care can relieve muscle tension and improve spinal alignment to reduce how often they occur.
Caused by dysfunction in the cervical spine. Adjustments help restore proper alignment in the neck, relieving pressure on the nerves that contribute to migraines.
Occurring 15 or more days a month. Care can help reduce their frequency and intensity by improving spinal function and reducing muscle tension.
We focus on long-term health by not only treating your migraines but helping you maintain a migraine-free life. Our approach involves regular adjustments, lifestyle modifications and stress management to help prevent future migraines. By improving spinal health, posture and overall body function, care can reduce the need for medications and support your wellbeing.
No, and we won’t claim it can. For some people, addressing neck tension is a helpful part of a wider plan, we’ll be honest about whether that’s likely for you.
Yes. Migraines are best managed as a team, and we’re happy to support your existing care.
Yes. We use careful, low-force approaches and only proceed when it’s appropriate.
No referral is needed to book, though we may suggest coordinating with your GP.
While care can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of migraines for many people, a permanent cure can’t be guaranteed. Ongoing care can be a valuable part of managing your migraines and reducing their impact.
Results vary from person to person. Some patients experience relief after their first few adjustments, while others notice gradual improvements over several weeks or months of consistent care.
We leave that choice up to you. A lot of people choose to continue care even once they’re out of pain because they notice a real benefit, while others prefer to stop once they’re feeling better.
It helps to bring any relevant medical history, a list of medications and detailed information about your migraine symptoms.
