Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, migraines, TMJ jaw pain — most chronic headaches have a musculoskeletal or neurological component that responds remarkably well to physiotherapy and acupuncture. If you've been taking medication for headaches regularly, there's a better approach.
Daily or frequent tight, pressing headaches from neck tension, poor posture and stress — extremely responsive to physiotherapy.
Headaches originating from the neck joints and muscles — often misdiagnosed as migraine. Physiotherapy is the primary treatment.
Recurrent severe headaches with nausea, light sensitivity — acupuncture has strong evidence for reducing frequency and severity.
Jaw pain, clicking, limited mouth opening and headaches from temporomandibular joint problems.
Rebound headaches from frequent pain medication use — physiotherapy and acupuncture help break the cycle.
Sharp, shooting pain at the back of the head from irritated occipital nerves — responds to targeted manual therapy.
Yes — particularly for tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches which originate from the neck. Manual therapy, joint mobilisation and targeted exercises reduce headache frequency significantly in most patients.
Acupuncture modulates pain pathways in the brainstem and trigeminal system that are involved in migraine generation. Multiple high-quality trials show it reduces migraine frequency by 50% or more in most patients. It works best as a course of 8–12 sessions over 3 months.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction causes jaw pain, clicking, limited mouth opening and often headaches. Physiotherapy treats the joint and surrounding muscles, reducing pain and restoring normal jaw movement. It is highly effective for most TMJ cases.
