The neck-headache connection
Many tension-type headaches originate from the joints and muscles at the top of the neck. Long hours at a desk, screen time, poor sleep posture and stress all add load to this area — and that tension can refer pain up into the head, often felt at the base of the skull, temples or behind the eyes.
How chiropractic care can help
By assessing the mobility of your neck and upper back, Dr Theo can identify whether restricted joints or overactive muscles are contributing to your headaches. Treatment typically combines gentle adjustments, soft tissue work and practical advice on posture and ergonomics.
What to expect
- A discussion of your headache pattern, triggers and history

A note on migraines
Migraines are a complex neurological condition with many possible triggers, and chiropractic care isn't a substitute for medical management. That said, for people whose migraines are linked with neck tension, addressing that mechanical component alongside their existing care can be a useful piece of the puzzle.
