Our team of experienced chiropractors utilises the latest techniques and research-backed methods to provide effective and pain-free headache treatment in Sydney.

Understanding Headaches and Their Causes

Headaches can be caused by various factors, including stress, poor posture, teeth clenching, muscle tension, and joint dysfunction, to name a few. Tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches are the most common types of headaches we treat at our clinic. By addressing the root causes of your headaches through chiropractic care, we can help reduce the frequency and severity of your pain.

Our Evidence-Based Chiropractic Techniques to Treat Headaches

Our clinic employs the latest pain-free techniques derived from industry-leading research to provide effective headache treatment. These techniques include:

Motorised Flexion Distraction Therapy

Also known as Spinal Disc Decompression Therapy, this doctor-controlled traction technique targets specific levels of the spine. It gently separates the vertebrae, reducing pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, which can alleviate headache symptoms caused by cervical spine issues.

Diversified Chiropractic Technique

This technique addresses biomechanical dysfunctions or joint injuries in each section of the spine. It involves a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that is safe, painless, and effective. By correcting spinal joint dysfunction, this technique can help reduce headache frequency and intensity.

Activator Device Adjusting

The Activator Device Adjusting technique uses a handheld instrument to deliver a precise, gentle thrust to areas of injury or joint dysfunction. This method avoids the more forceful manual manipulation of the spine, making it suitable for patients of all ages, from newborns to senior citizens. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a non-invasive and gentle approach to headache relief.

Muscle Release and Trigger Point Release Techniques

These techniques focus on reducing muscular tension throughout the body. By applying targeted pressure and stretching, we release muscle tension and trigger points that often contribute to headache pain. This method promotes relaxation and improves blood flow, helping to alleviate tension headaches.

Myofascial Dry Needling

Also known as Western Acupuncture, Myofascial techniques involve inserting fine needles into specific points within the muscles to induce relaxation. It effectively reduces muscle tension and can provide significant relief from headaches caused by muscular issues.

Postural Retraining and Rehabilitation

Poor posture is a common contributor to chronic headaches. Our chiropractors provide postural retraining and rehabilitation advice to help you improve your workstation ergonomics and everyday posture. By correcting postural imbalances, we aim to achieve longer-lasting headache relief.
