Chiropractor for Headaches

For many people, yes. Chiropractic care may help with certain types of headaches, particularly those coming from the neck (cervicogenic headaches) and tension-type headaches. At My Back Relief Clinic in Dulwich Hill, we start with a thorough assessment to work out what type of headache you have and whether chiropractic care is right for you. If it isn’t, we’ll refer you to the right health professional.
Care may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue work, and posture and movement advice to reduce strain on the neck and upper back. These are common contributors to headaches for desk workers and busy parents across the Inner West.

It varies from person to person. Some people notice changes within the first few visits, while long-standing headaches usually take longer. How quickly you respond depends on how long you’ve had headaches, what’s driving them, your posture and work habits, and your general health.
After your initial assessment, we’ll explain what we found and give you a clear Health Action Plan with recommended visits and regular progress checks, so you always know where you stand.

Yes. Stiffness, restricted movement or muscle tension in the upper neck can refer pain into the head. This is known as a cervicogenic headache. Poor posture, long hours at a screen, stress and old injuries can all contribute.
At My Back Relief Clinic, we assess how your neck and upper back are moving to see whether they may be contributing to your headaches. We also screen for warning signs that need medical attention first. If you experience a sudden, severe or unusual headache, see your GP or go to the emergency department.
