Headache & Migraine Treatment in Central London
Frequent headaches and migraines are often linked to tension in the neck and upper back, and our team is experienced in tracing and treating that connection. While not every headache is caused by the neck, a large number of the tension-type and cervicogenic headaches we see respond very well to hands-on treatment.
How Headaches and Migraines Feel
Patients describe everything from a tight band around the head and a dull ache at the base of the skull, to more severe migraine symptoms including throbbing pain, light sensitivity and nausea. Many notice their headaches build gradually through the day, particularly during periods of heavy screen use or stress.
Common Causes We Treat
Upper neck joint restriction, tight muscles at the base of the skull, jaw tension, poor posture and high stress levels are among the most common contributing factors. Dehydration, screen glare and irregular sleep can also play a part.
Assessment & Treatment
We examine the joints and muscles of your neck and upper back, along with your posture and daily habits, to understand what might be triggering your symptoms.
Chiropractic Treatment
Where the neck is involved, gentle chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue release and stretch therapy can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Practical Advice for Fewer Flare-Ups
We also share simple, realistic changes around posture, screen breaks and stress management, so you are not solely reliant on appointments to feel the benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic treatment help migraines, not just tension headaches?
Many migraine sufferers also have neck tension contributing to their symptoms, and treating this can reduce frequency and severity, although migraines can have multiple triggers beyond the neck.
How many sessions before I notice a difference?
Some patients notice fewer headaches within two to three sessions, particularly when neck tension is a major factor. We will review progress with you regularly.
Will you ask about my lifestyle and triggers?
Yes, we will discuss sleep, screen use, stress and hydration alongside a physical examination, since these all influence headache frequency.
What if my headaches need medical investigation?
If anything in your assessment suggests you need further medical investigation, we will always tell you and can refer you back to your GP.
