Understanding headaches

Headaches are one of the most common complaints we see, and one of the most successfully treated. While headaches have many causes, a significant proportion, including tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches, have a strong musculoskeletal component that responds very well to treatment.

Tension headaches typically feel like a band of pressure around the head and are strongly linked to tightness in the neck, upper back and shoulders. Cervicogenic headaches originate from the neck itself and are often accompanied by neck stiffness or pain. Migraines are more complex but can also have musculoskeletal triggers that are worth addressing.

We always recommend that new or persistent headaches are assessed by a GP to rule out any underlying cause before beginning treatment with us.

How we can help

Treatment focuses on the neck, upper back and shoulders, the structures most commonly driving tension and cervicogenic headaches. Gentle osteopathic techniques reduce muscular tension, restore joint mobility and improve posture. Massage can provide significant immediate relief for headaches driven by muscle tension.

Acupuncture is also effective for headaches, particularly migraines, and can help reduce both frequency and severity over a course of treatment.

Frequently asked questions

When should I see a GP about headaches?

See a GP if your headaches are new, severe, getting progressively worse, associated with visual disturbance, confusion, fever or vomiting, or if they wake you from sleep. Always seek medical assessment for headaches that are different from your usual pattern.

Can osteopathy help migraines?

Osteopathy can help with migraines that have a musculoskeletal trigger, particularly those linked to neck tension. It is unlikely to eliminate migraines entirely but can reduce frequency and severity for many patients when combined with appropriate migraine management.
