Why Your Neck Could Be The Hidden Cause of Your Headaches

Headaches can commonly be caused by irritated joints, muscles and nerves in your neck. Poor posture, weak core muscles and stress can all overload these small tissues in your neck, which then refer pain up into the head.

What to Expect During Your First Headache Treatment Session

Treatment involves identifying the exact joints or muscles that cause the headache. Then we use dry needling, massage and joint manipulation to release the tension. We follow this up with corrective core and posture exercises to offload the pressure from the joints.

Headache/Migraine FAQs

What’s the difference between a cervicogenic headache and a regular tension headache?

A cervicogenic headache will generally present at the base of the neck and refer to the back of the head, temporal and eye area on one side of the body. They will also have stiffness in the neck muscles. Other headaches will be felt more generally throughout the whole head area on both sides.

How do I know if my headache is coming from my neck?

If you press on the muscles in your upper shoulder and neck area, they will often recreate a headache sensation. However, the pain can also come from the joints, so it is important to see a chiropractor to check if this is the source of your pain.

Is treatment painful or uncomfortable?

No, the treatment is generally very gentle and comfortable. If a patient is in a lot of pain or is more sensitive, then we use less intensive techniques to release tension, such as massage.

Can jaw problems really cause headaches or migraines?

Yes, jaw dysfunction is a common cause of headaches and migraines. Clenching your jaw can wind up the tension in the upper neck and the muscles will then refer pain to the head.

  Bob has impacted my quality of life infinitely. When I first came to the clinic 3 yrs ago I lived in chronic pain and didn’t see a world where I wouldn’t have it. Their approach is very holistic and well beyond a traditional chiropractor - his ability to find the source of the problem and tackle with a multifaceted approach is incredible. I have complete confidence in the whole team, having been to many other clinics, they really are the best around.

  Dr. Timings is fantastic. What I appreciated most was his philosophy of "elite care for all." He didn't just rush into an adjustment; he explained everything he was doing and why. He seems genuinely invested in his patients' long-term health and wants to empower them to be self-reliant rather than dependent on endless appointments. He's knowledgeable, reassuring, and I felt completely at ease.

  I’ve been seeing Ed for several months now, and he’s made a real difference to my neck mobility and back pain. He understands rugby/sports inside out and tailors advice to genuinely improve strength and mobility rather than just offering a quick fix. What I really appreciate is that he focuses on long-term improvement and actually aims to reduce the number of visits you need over time; something I haven’t experienced with other chiropractors. On top of that, he’s covered by various health insurances, which makes things so much easier. Highly recommend.
