Experience That Makes a Difference

With decades of service to the Burswood community, we’ve helped thousands of patients find relief from headaches and migraines.

Our chiropractors understand the many causes, from tension headaches linked to neck and shoulder tightness, to migraines triggered by posture, stress, or spinal alignment.

Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs, focusing on easing pain now and preventing it in the future.

 

Personalised Treatment Plans

No two cases of headaches or migraines are the same. We start with a thorough assessment to identify potential triggers and contributing factors, then create a treatment plan designed specifically for you, which may include:

  • Gentle spinal and neck adjustments to improve movement and reduce nerve irritation

  • Soft tissue therapy to ease muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back

  • Exercise rehabilitation to improve posture and spinal stability

  • Dry needling for stubborn muscle trigger points

  • Ergonomic and lifestyle coaching to reduce daily strain

Our approach focuses on addressing both the underlying causes and the symptoms for long-term relief.

 

Relief and Prevention Combined

We don’t just aim to stop your current headache or migraine episode; we work to prevent them from coming back. You’ll receive practical self-care tips, posture strategies, and personalised exercises to help reduce recurrence.

FAQs about Chiropractors for headaches & migraines in Burswood

1) Can a chiropractor really help with headaches and migraines?

Yes, when muscle tension, joint restriction, posture, or neck-related nerve sensitivity contribute to your headaches.

We assess these factors and use gentle techniques to reduce pain, restore movement, and lower the chance of flare-ups.

 

2) Which headache types respond best to chiropractic care?

Commonly responsive types include:

  • Tension headaches linked to neck or shoulder tightness

  • Cervicogenic headaches that originate from the neck joints and soft tissues

  • Migraines where musculoskeletal factors and posture play a role

  • Postural or screen-related headaches

  • Headaches following whiplash or minor neck injury

If your pattern is unlikely to benefit, we will advise the most appropriate referral.

 

3) What is a cervicogenic headache?

Pain is referred from the neck to the head or face. It often worsens with neck movement or sustained postures, and is tender over specific neck joints or muscles. Treating neck mechanics and muscle tension often helps.

 

4) How do migraines differ from tension or cervicogenic headaches?

  • Migraine: pulsating pain, moderate to severe, often one-sided, may include nausea, light or sound sensitivity, sometimes aura.

  • Tension: band-like pressure, milder to moderate, often both sides, tight neck and shoulder muscles.

  • Cervicogenic: starts in the neck, aggravated by neck movement or posture, usually one-sided, neck tenderness on exam.

Many patients have overlap. Your assessment clarifies the drivers.

 

5) What will happen at my first appointment?

  • Detailed history and review of triggers, work and sleep patterns, and past episodes

  • Physical assessment of neck joints, muscles, nerves, posture, and movement

  • Clear explanation of findings and options

  • If suitable, first treatment on the same day plus home advice

6) Which treatments do you use?

Plans are personalised and may include:

  • Gentle spinal and neck mobilisations or adjustments

  • Soft-tissue therapy and myofascial release

  • Dry needling for stubborn trigger points (when appropriate)

  • Exercise rehabilitation for posture, mobility, and neck endurance

  • Ergonomic, sleep, and activity advice

7) Is your treatment safe for my neck?

When delivered by a qualified, experienced chiropractor, yes. We screen for risks, explain each step, and use the least forceful methods that suit you.

If you prefer not to have manual adjustments, we have gentle alternatives such as mobilisation or instrument-assisted techniques.

 

8) Will your treatment hurt?

Most patients find care comfortable. Short-lived post-treatment tenderness can occur, similar to workout soreness, and usually settles within 24 to 48 hours.

 

9) How many visits will I need?

Recent tension-type or posture-related headaches may improve in one to three visits. Chronic or migraine patterns generally need a structured plan over several weeks. We set milestones at visit one and adjust based on your progress.

 

10) Do I need X-rays or an MRI?

Usually not. Imaging is considered if there are red flags, significant trauma, progressive neurological changes, or poor response to appropriate care. We coordinate referrals when needed.

 

11) What are red flags that need urgent medical review?

Seek urgent care for:

  • Sudden, severe “worst ever” headache

  • Headache with fever, stiff neck, rash, confusion, or seizures

  • New neurological changes such as facial droop, slurred speech, limb weakness, new visual loss

  • Headache after significant head or neck trauma
    If you are unsure, contact us for guidance.

 

12) Can chiropractic help migraines with aura or vestibular migraine?

It can help when neck mechanics, muscle tension, or posture contribute to your migraine threshold. We focus on these factors and co-manage with your GP or neurologist when appropriate.

 

13) Can jaw tension or TMJ issues cause headaches, and can you help?

Yes. Jaw clenching, grinding, and TMJ mechanics often contribute to temple or ear-region headaches.

We assess jaw, neck, and posture, treat contributing soft-tissue and joint issues, and provide bite and habit advice. We may also collaborate with your dentist if needed.

 

14) What can I do at home between visits?

  • Mobility drills for neck and upper back, plus endurance work for deep neck and scapular muscles

  • Micro-breaks from screens every 30 to 45 minutes

  • Heat for muscle tension, ice for acute irritation

  • Hydration and regular meals to stabilise energy

  • Stress strategies such as breathing, stretching, or short walks

15) What pillow and sleep position help headaches?

  • Side sleeping: pillow height should fill the space from neck to shoulder so the neck stays neutral

  • Back sleeping: medium-height pillow that supports the neck curve

  • Try to avoid stomach sleeping, which rotates the neck

Read more about it on our blog.

 

16) How should I set up my desk to reduce headaches?

  • Screen at eye level, keyboard and mouse close to avoid reaching

  • Forearms supported, shoulders relaxed, feet grounded

  • Laptop users should use a separate keyboard and raise the screen

  • Use reminders for posture resets and movement breaks

17) Can children or teens with headaches see a chiropractor?

Yes, with gentle care and careful screening. We coordinate with your GP or paediatric providers if other causes are suspected.

 

18) Is care suitable during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

Yes, with modified techniques that prioritise comfort and safety. We tailor care to trimester, sleep position, and activity changes, and we coordinate with your maternity team when helpful.

 

19) What about older adults with arthritis or past neck issues?

Care is adapted to bone health, mobility, and comfort. Gentle mobilisation, soft-tissue work, and targeted exercises are often effective and well tolerated.

 

20) Can I stay on my usual medications for headaches or migraines?

Yes. Continue medications as prescribed by your GP or specialist. Our care is complementary. We will communicate with your doctor if changes or co-management may help.

 

21) Are any supplements helpful?

Some people benefit from magnesium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), or CoQ10 for migraine prevention. Evidence varies by individual. Please check with your GP or pharmacist before starting supplements.

 

22) Which lifestyle triggers should I watch?

Common triggers include dehydration, irregular meals, poor sleep, high caffeine or alcohol, stress spikes, long screen time, and glare. A simple headache diary helps identify your personal triggers.

 

23) How quickly can I book, and what are the fees?

We offer same-day and next-day appointments where possible. The initial consultation is $139 and includes a comprehensive assessment and tailored plan. Gap-only payments are available with major health funds, eligibility applies.

 

24) Do I need a referral?

No referral is required. If shared care with your GP, dentist, or neurologist would help, we coordinate that for you.

 

25) Will I need to keep coming indefinitely?

No. The aim is to reduce your current symptoms and build resilience so you rely on us less over time. Some patients choose occasional check-ins during stressful or high-demand periods, which is optional.
