Headache migraine treatment
Support for tension-related headaches and migraines
Headaches and migraines can affect more than just your head — they can interfere with sleep, concentration, work and quality of life. For some people, symptoms are occasional. For others, they can become frequent and disruptive.
At Honiton Chiropractic Clinic, we look at whether your headaches or migraines may be linked to muscle tension, posture, joint restriction or reduced movement in the neck, upper back and shoulders. Where appropriate, chiropractic care can help reduce strain in these areas and support more comfortable movement.
Understanding headaches and migraines
Headaches and migraines can have many different triggers. Some are linked to muscle tension, joint restriction, posture or long periods spent sitting or working at a screen. Others may be influenced by stress, sleep patterns or lifestyle habits.
Tension through the neck and shoulders, reduced movement in the upper spine and postural strain can all contribute to recurring headaches and migraine symptoms.
Common features may include:
- Tightness or stiffness through the neck and shoulders
- Head pain that starts at the base of the skull or behind the eyes
- Symptoms aggravated by posture, stress or movement
- Reduced neck mobility
How chiropractic care can help headaches and migraines
Chiropractic care focuses on how your neck, upper spine and surrounding muscles are working together. When movement becomes restricted or muscle tension builds, this can place strain on sensitive structures and contribute to headache or migraine symptoms.
Where appropriate, treatment aims to improve movement, reduce muscle tension and support more comfortable day-to-day function. Care is always tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle and comfort level, using gentle, evidence-based techniques.
