Understanding Headaches
Headaches are a widespread condition that can profoundly impact daily activities and overall quality of life. More than just momentary discomfort, they may persist, disrupt focus, productivity, and general wellbeing.
Common triggers include stress and tension, poor posture, dehydration, dietary maybes, environmental factors like bright lights or loud sounds, and underlying medical conditions. Common conditions include:
- Tension headaches caused by neck and shoulder muscle tightness
- Cervicogenic headaches that start in the neck and refer pain behind the eye or to the temple
- Migraines with light or sound sensitivity, nausea, or aura
- TMJ related headaches linked to jaw clenching or grinding
- Postural and “tech neck” headaches from long hours at a desk or on a phone
- Sinus-style pressure headaches when neck and facial tension are contributing factors

What Our Patients are Saying
Our Approach to Lasting Headache Relief
We believe in patient-centred, results-driven care. Your recovery begins with a full consultation and physical assessment to understand your headache history, identify potential triggers (neck, spine, posture, soft tissue), and assess your mobility and lifestyle factors. That gives us the foundation to create a customised treatment plan aligned with your condition and goals.
Our approach may include:
● Gentle chiropractic adjustments to relieve misalignments in the cervical spine and reduce nerve or muscle tension
● Soft tissue therapy to ease muscle tightness, release trigger-points and restore proper function around the neck, shoulders and upper back
● Targeted therapeutic exercises to build support strength, improve flexibility, and restore motion in the head-neck-shoulder complex
● Lifestyle guidance: nutrition/hydration, posture/ergonomics, stress-management and environmental adjustments to help prevent future headache episodes
Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free alternative for managing headaches. We select the most effective methods for your individual condition—ensuring safety, precision and comfort.

Specialized Headache Services
- Spinal Adjustments: Misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck, can contribute to tension headaches. Adjustments help relieve nerve pressure and restore proper alignment to reduce headache frequency and severity.
- Physical Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise: Strengthening neck and shoulder muscles through customized exercises improves posture and reduces tension that can trigger headaches.
- Dry Needling: By targeting trigger points in the head, neck, and shoulders, dry needling releases muscle tension, alleviating headache pain and promoting relaxation.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: This therapy relieves pressure on the cervical spine, which is often a contributing factor in chronic headaches caused by nerve compression.
- Whole-Body Vibration Therapy: Enhancing circulation and reducing muscle tension, this therapy can help alleviate headache symptoms caused by poor blood flow or stress.
- Soft Tissue Therapies: Techniques like IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), Active Release Technique (A.R.T.), and Massage Therapy target muscle tightness and reduce the strain on tissues that can lead to headaches.
- Cupping Therapy: By increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, cupping therapy can help relieve tension and prevent headache recurrence.
- Advanced Treatments: Shockwave Therapy, Laser Therapy, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy promote cellular healing, reduce inflammation, and address underlying causes of chronic headaches.
