Conditions We Treat
Chiropractic care for headache and migraine — addressing the cervical spine connection that is often at the root of recurring head pain.
Understanding Headache
One of the more common reasons people seek chiropractic care is for the treatment of headache and migraine. Neck problems are often associated with headache, and our chiropractors are experienced in assessing whether the cervical spine is a contributing factor to a patient's head pain.
At Sexton Chiropractic we have been providing effective care for people suffering from headache for more than 25 years across our Surrey Hills, Bendigo and Torquay practices.
How We Treat It
Care may involve a combination of hands-on techniques and lifestyle guidance — always tailored to the individual and always with your full involvement and understanding.
Where appropriate, our chiropractors deliver gentle adjustments and mobilisation to the cervical spine to restore joint mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and address tension that may be triggering headache.
Tension in the muscles of the neck, upper back, and base of skull is a common driver of headache. Targeted soft tissue therapy releases this tension and helps reduce the frequency and intensity of episodes.
We prescribe exercises to correct the postural and movement patterns that contribute to recurring cervicogenic headache — practical, sustainable steps you can take between appointments.
Hydration, screen habits, sleep posture, and certain dietary factors all influence headache frequency. We discuss these openly and offer practical guidance as part of a whole-person approach.
An honest note: Not all headaches will be best managed by a chiropractor. Our practitioners will always assess your presentation honestly and, where appropriate, refer you to the most suitable health professional for your specific type of headache.
We aim to work with your body, not against it — promoting the philosophy of nature first and the basic guidelines of eating well, moving well and thinking well.
