Headaches and tension
Many people who see us for headaches also notice neck stiffness, shoulder tension or poor sleep. We look at how your neck and upper back are functioning and whether they may be contributing.
Common signs we see
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Headaches that build through a workday
- Tension across the neck, shoulders and jaw
- Relying on pain relief more often than you’d like
Looking beyond the symptom
Headaches have many possible causes, so a thorough history comes first. Where the neck and upper back are involved, restricted movement and muscle tension can be part of the picture.
If anything in your history or examination suggests a different cause, we’ll refer you to the right health professional.
