DO YOU HAVE HEADACHE OR MIGRAINE?
Highly specialised therapists providing lasting relief from headaches and migraines using the latest scientific evidence to guide our treatment protocols.
Migraines and Headaches are poorly understood and very confusing for patients when they experience debilitating episode. Our therapists are at hand to explain this issue in a simple manner.
OVERVIEW/CAUSE OF PROBLEM
When suffering from headaches or migraines patients will just rely on medication to find relief. Many people do not realise that there are other treatment options available with long lasting results without the use of drugs.
Over 80% of migraine suffers have an issue with their upper cervical spine.
Previously migraines and headaches were poorly understood, today we know that migraine and headaches are as a result of a sensitized nervous = system and hypersensitivity to an area known as the brainstem region.
In normal people the brainstem requires a lot of stimulus to produce a headache but with people who suffer from migraines and headache the stimulus require is a lot less. Think of it like this, if you bump your arm, it is sensitive for a few days then it resolves. The sensitive part of your arm is like your brain stem, it has become very sensitive to pain touch and pressure.
“I’ve tried everything but nothing has given me relief.” We hear this quote a lot in our clinic.
Many people just use medication to manage their migraines when in fact the root cause of the migraine can be coming from the upper cervical spine. Your brain stem is in this region and if the upper cervical spine is not moving correctly it will cause the brain stem to be come more sensitive.

They were great. I saw Conor and he took the time to listen to me and explain the different aspects of my injury, making sure I knew how to recover and prevent it from occurring again. He was also happy to give advice on other parts of my training routine for further injury prevention, and though I hopefully won’t be injured, would go back again. I also really liked the novel payment program that allows you to book a series of sessions up front.
