No referral is ever required to begin care. We are here to support you every step of the way.

Types of Headaches We Commonly Treat

Headaches can present in different ways. We commonly assess and treat:

  • Tension-type headaches
  • Cervicogenic headaches
  • Headaches related to neck stiffness
  • Postural-related headaches
  • Stress-related headaches

If your headaches are frequent, changing in intensity, or interfering with daily activities, an assessment can help determine the next steps.

Assessment for Headaches

Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation to better understand your symptoms and potential contributing factors.

Your appointment may include:

  • A discussion of your headache history and patterns
  • Assessment of neck mobility and joint function
  • Evaluation of posture and muscle tension
  • Review of lifestyle or activity factors

This helps us develop a personalized plan focused on reducing symptom frequency and improving overall function.

Treatment Options for Headaches

Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of your headaches and your individual presentation.

Your care plan may include:

The number of treatments recommended will depend on your specific condition and how you respond over time.

  • Manual therapy to address joint or muscle tension
  • Targeted exercises to improve posture and strength
  • Mobility work to reduce stiffness
  • Education and strategies for symptom management

Acupuncture may also be considered as part of your treatment plan.

Acupuncture for Headache Management

Acupuncture may be recommended when muscle tension, stress, or ongoing irritation are contributing to your headaches. This gentle treatment involves placing very fine needles at specific points on the body to help support natural regulation and relaxation.

Many patients find acupuncture to be a calming addition to their care plan, particularly when headaches are associated with neck tension or stress. It can be used on its own or integrated with physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment, depending on your individual needs.

By combining approaches, we aim to address both the physical and contributing factors related to your symptoms in a thoughtful and structured way.

When to Seek Treatment

While many headaches are manageable, persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated. If your headaches are becoming more frequent or limiting your ability to function comfortably, assessment can help guide appropriate care.
