Headaches from the neck
Some headaches start with stiffness or tension in the neck. We can assess whether your neck may be contributing to yours. Chiropractic care and soft tissue work may help people manage headaches of this kind.
What we look for
We ask when your headaches come on and what makes them better or worse, and examine how your neck and upper back move.
What may help
If your neck looks like it is involved, your plan might include hands-on care, massage and advice on posture. Not every headache comes from the neck, and if yours does not, we will tell you. Results vary between people.
When to get urgent help
Go to an emergency department or call 000 for a sudden severe headache, a headache after a head injury, or one that comes with weakness, confusion, vision changes or fever.
Do you treat migraines?
Migraine is best discussed with your GP. We can check whether neck tension may be playing a part.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book without a GP referral. If your GP has referred you under a Medicare plan, bring the paperwork and tell us when you book.
