Our Approach

How We Treat Headaches & Migraines

Many headaches originate from the neck and upper back — a fact that is often overlooked. Our physiotherapists and chiropractors are trained in identifying and treating cervicogenic headaches with spinal mobilisation, trigger point therapy, and postural correction. We work alongside your GP and neurologist when appropriate for migraines and complex headache presentations.

Recovery Expectations

Cervicogenic and tension headaches typically respond within 4–8 sessions. Patients often notice a reduction in frequency and severity within the first 2–3 appointments.

How It Works

Our 3-Step Approach

1

Comprehensive Assessment

2

We explain your diagnosis in plain language and outline a clear treatment plan with realistic goals and an expected timeline.
