Recurring headaches that may not be coming from your head.
A significant proportion of chronic headaches and migraines have a musculoskeletal cause in the upper neck. Where they do, targeted manual therapy and postural correction can reduce frequency dramatically.

If three or more sound familiar, a 60-minute first visit — assessment and treatment with a doctor — will tell you what is producing them, and whether our care is the right path for your condition.
A significant proportion of recurring headaches have a musculoskeletal cause — cervicogenic headaches originating from joint dysfunction in the upper neck, tension-type headaches driven by muscular and postural strain, and a subset of migraines triggered or aggravated by cervical input. These can often be reduced or resolved through targeted manual therapy and postural correction.
Our treatment approach
We begin by identifying whether the headache pattern is cervicogenic, tension-type, or migraine — and whether musculoskeletal treatment is appropriate. Where it is, our protocol combines upper-cervical manual therapy, soft tissue release of the deep neck and suboccipital muscles, and postural rehabilitation.
Modalities used
Upper-cervical chiropractic
Myofascial release
Low-level laser therapy
Postural rehabilitation
What to expect
Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches typically respond within 6–10 sessions. Migraine patients may see frequency and intensity reduce alongside care; we work alongside, not in place of, neurological management where indicated.
If this matches your symptoms
Most cases of headaches & migraines are non-surgical when treated with the right protocol.
Every patient begins with a 60-minute first visit — a full assessment and first treatment with a doctor, for $88 online.
If our care is not the right path for your condition, we will say so and refer you on.
Our patient-care team is happy to walk through anything else over the phone or WhatsApp.
In most cases, yes. Conservative treatment for headaches & migraines resolves the condition for the majority of patients without surgery. We will tell you honestly if your case is one where surgical consultation is the right path.
No referral is required. If you have prior imaging — X-ray, MRI, specialist correspondence — bringing it to the first consultation helps the clinician build a more complete picture from the start.
