Headaches & Migraines Chiropractic Care

Overview of Chiropractic Care for Headaches & Migraines
Injuries disrupt more than just movement, they can affect your sleep, work, and day-to-day comfort. At Advantage Chiropractic, we focus on restoring your body’s natural function through targeted chiropractic care that supports healing and reduces pain.
​
Whether you’ve had a sports injury, work-related strain, or minor accident, our chiropractors provide personalised treatment to help you recover. If your injury qualifies, we can lodge your ACC claim on the spot, with no referral needed.
How Chiropractic Can Help With Headaches and Migraines
Misalignments in the spine, especially in the neck, can affect nerves, muscles, and blood flow. This tension often contributes to different types of headaches. Chiropractic care helps address the root cause by improving mobility, releasing muscular stress, and supporting better alignment.
Chiropractic adjustments may help by:
-
Relieving neck and shoulder tightness
-
Improving spinal motion and alignment
-
Reducing pressure on nerves
-
Supporting better posture and circulation
-
Helping regulate the nervous system
Types of Headaches We Often Support
Chiropractic care is helpful for many headache types, especially when they are linked to the spine or nervous system. These include:
-
Tension headaches from stress or poor posture
-
Cervicogenic headaches originating in the neck
-
Migraines that may benefit from improved nervous system function
-
Postural headaches from screen time or long sitting
-
Headaches related to old injuries or muscle imbalances
We assess each case individually and adapt treatment based on how your body responds.
Chiropractic Techniques Used for Headache Relief
At Advantage Chiropractic, your chiropractor may use a range of techniques to support relief and recovery, including:
-
Cervical and upper spine adjustments
-
Trigger point or soft tissue release
-
Jaw and shoulder muscle work if relevant
-
Postural guidance and ergonomic support
-
Breathing and mobility strategies to reduce tension
All care is customised to your comfort level, lifestyle, and overall health picture.
Do I Need a Referral to Start Care?
No referral is required. If your headaches are connected to an injury, such as a fall or strain, we can help file your ACC claim directly from our clinic. We also coordinate care with GPs and other health providers when necessary.
When Should You Consider Chiropractic for Headaches?
Chiropractic may help if you:
-
Feel pain starting at the base of the skull or top of the neck
-
Notice tightness across your shoulders or jaw
-
Spend long hours sitting, driving, or at a screen
-
Experience frequent or recurring headaches
-
Want a non-medicated way to support long-term relief
Many of our patients also find they sleep better, move easier, and feel more focused as their symptoms improve.
