Hands-On Treatment for Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines can range from an occasional dull ache to debilitating episodes that disrupt work, sleep, and daily life, and their causes are often more complex than they first appear — from muscular tension in the neck and jaw, to postural strain, stress, or an underlying joint restriction. At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to identifying exactly what's driving your headaches, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Does this describe your situation?

You get headaches that seem to start at the base of your skull or in your neck
Long hours at a desk or screen often bring on a headache by the afternoon
Your headaches come with neck or shoulder tension, or vice versa
You experience migraines with visual disturbances, nausea, or sensitivity to light and sound

Stress seems to trigger or worsen your headaches, but you're not sure how to actually address it
You've tried painkillers, but they only mask the symptoms rather than reducing how often headaches happen
Your headaches seem linked to jaw tension, clenching, or grinding
You've had headaches for so long, you've stopped questioning why they're happening

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Types of Headaches and Migraines We Treat

Tension-Type Headaches

The most common type of headache, caused by tightness in the muscles of the neck, shoulders and scalp, typically felt as a dull, band-like pressure around the head.

Cervicogenic Headaches

Headaches originating from the joints and muscles of the neck, often felt on one side of the head and worsened by certain neck movements or positions.

Migraines

A more complex neurological condition, often involving throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances (aura), which can be influenced by musculoskeletal tension and triggers alongside other factors.

TMJ-Related Headaches

Headaches originating from tension and dysfunction in the jaw and surrounding muscles, often felt at the temples or across the forehead.

Postural Headaches

Headaches that build gradually from prolonged sitting, screen use, or poor ergonomics, often linked to tightness in the neck and upper back.

Stress-Related Headaches

Headaches that intensify during periods of stress or anxiety, often driven by unconscious muscle tension in the neck, jaw and shoulders.

Sinus-Related Headaches

Headaches associated with sinus pressure and congestion, which can sometimes overlap with or be mistaken for tension-type headaches or migraines.

Hormonal Headaches

Headaches linked to hormonal fluctuations, which can follow a predictable pattern and may respond well to a broader approach addressing associated muscular and postural tension.

How we can help

Headaches and migraines are rarely random — there's almost always an underlying pattern or trigger, whether that's tension in the neck and jaw, postural strain, or joint restriction contributing to how often they happen and how severe they are. Our approach is to get to the root of that pattern, not just treat the headache in front of us.

As part of this, among our treatment modalities we often incorporate cranial osteopathy — a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the subtle movement of tissues around the head, neck and spine, to help ease tension and bring soothing relief. Combined with expert assessment of your neck, posture and jaw where relevant, this allows us to build a treatment plan targeted at what's actually driving your headaches, rather than simply masking the pain.

We promise meaningful, hands-on treatment from your very first appointment — care designed to bring genuine, soothing relief while our experts get to the root of why your headaches or migraines are happening, so we can help reduce how often they return.
