Headaches
What are Headaches?
Headaches are a common source of pain for a large portion of us, ranging from spontaneous episodes to chronic cases that can cause a significant amount of discomfort within our daily lives. Due to the structures, the location, along with the surrounding nerves, headaches can in fact arise from changes to the neck. These type of headaches are known as ‘cervicogenic headaches’ due to the area they arise from – the ‘cervical spine.’ This type of pain presents typically along one side of the head, worsening with movement of the neck and associated with tenderness along the muscles and/or spine.
What to expect

Once recognised, our physiotherapists will work with you to help manage your symptoms. This could include treatments such as; acupuncture, manual therapy, massage.
