Understanding These Headaches
A cervicogenic headache originates in the structures of the neck, with pain referred up into the head from joints, muscles or nerves in the cervical spine. Migraine is a distinct neurological condition, often involving intense, throbbing pain alongside sensitivity to light or sound. The two can feel similar and sometimes occur together, which is why a careful assessment is so important in deciding how best to help.

How We Can Help
Where headaches are connected to the neck, easing the underlying problem can make a real difference. Gentle chiropractic care aimed at restoring movement in the upper spine, combined with soft tissue therapy to relax tight muscles, can help reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms for many patients. We also offer advice on posture and the everyday triggers that can contribute to head and neck tension.
It is important to be realistic and honest, so we will always assess your individual situation first. If we believe your headaches need investigation or care beyond our scope, we will tell you and help point you in the right direction.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Your appointment begins with a thorough conversation about your headaches, including their pattern, triggers and history, followed by a physical and chiropractic examination of your neck and upper back. We then explain what we have found and, where appropriate, recommend a personalised plan designed to address the contributing factors we can treat.
