Headache FAQs
What is the difference between a headache and migraine?
Typically, migraines will feel much more intense, come on suddenly, and can last longer than headaches (up to 3 days or more). Migraines are usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and numbness.
Because migraines are much harder to pinpoint the cause of, it’s highly recommended to have a thorough assessment by a professional.
Can whiplash cause headaches?
Yes. A common side effect of whiplash is headaches, neck pain, and stiffness in the neck or difficulties moving the head, which is reported in about 90% of whiplash sufferers.
On average, it can take 3 months to recover from whiplash, but with Chiropractic adjustments, the recovery time can be reduced significantly.
Can you help with headaches in children?
Yes! One of our specialist areas is in paediatric chiropractic treatments.
In fact, recent studies have shown that children who regularly experience headaches once under the care of a chiropractor see a significant reduction in the number of days they miss school from head pain.
What is a cluster headache?
A cluster headache is one of the most intense types of head pain. If you’ve experienced it, you know it’s sharp, burning, and often centred behind one eye. These headaches often come in clusters and can strike all of a sudden, repeating for days or weeks at a time before disappearing for some time.
What most people dont realise is that cluster heaaches often involve dsyfunction in the upper cervical spine c0-c2 and the automatic nervous system. That controls your stress response, pain pathways and your bood vessels.
When this becomes irritated or there is pressure on the nerves, it can trigger the severe flare-ups people experience as clusters.
If your headaches feel sharp, sudden, or one-sided behind one eye, it’s essential to have your nervous system assessed by a trained chiropractor, specifically focusing on your neck and posture. Because addressing any underlying imbalance is often a fast path to lasting relief.

What is a tension headache?
A tension headache feels like your head is being squeezed by a vice-like band. It’s the most common type of headache and is usually a sign that your nervous system is under too much stress.
Common triggers include:
Long hours at a desk
Poor posture
Stress and emotional tension
Tight neck and shoulder muscles
Forward-head posture
Restricted upper nec and lower neck spinal joints
What most people don’t realise is that tension headaches are rarely “just muscular.” They’re often the result of nerve irritation caused by spinal misalignments (especially in the neck) and ongoing stress overload.
The good news? When the nervous system is more balanced and the neck moves properly again, tension headaches often reduce dramatically — or disappear altogether.
Are your tension headaches persisting?
Book your consultation — let’s identify and address the underlying cause.
What is a sinus headache?
Sinus headaches happen because of inflammation or a blockage of the sinus passages around your cheeks, eyes or forehead.
They often feel pressure behind the face and eyes, as well as a fullness.
But here’s what most people don’t know:
A surprisingly high number of “sinus headaches” are actually misdiagnosed tension or cervicogenic headaches caused by issues in the neck — not the sinuses.
Clues it may NOT be true sinus pain:
Pain changes with neck movement
Pain gets worse at a computer
You don’t have a fever, congestion, or infection
Anti-histamines or sinus meds don’t help
Because the nerves that supply the sinuses originate in the upper neck, specifically at C2, any irritation in this area can create symptoms that feel like sinus pressure.
A proper consultation can help determine whether the cause is sinus-related, nerve-related, or both — so you finally get the right treatment.
Not sure if it’s sinus or something else? Book a consultation and get clarity.
What is a cervicogenic headache?
The neck, not the head, causes cervicogenic headaches. Meaning irritated nerves, neck joints or muscles in the upper cervical spine.
This often feels like pain in your forehead, temples and behind both eyes.
Common signs of a cervicogenic headache:
Pain starts in the neck then moves upward
Headache is always on the same side
Neck stiffness or limited movement
Pain worsens after sitting, driving, or lifting
Pressure at the base of the skull feels tender or sharp
Because these headaches come from nervous syste and mechanical dysfunction, they respond extremely well to chiropractic care — especially when the upper neck is assessed and corrected properly.
If your headaches are always one-sided, or you feel neck tension with every episode, you may be dealing with cervicogenic headaches — and that’s actually good news, because they’re highly correctable.

What is a tmj headache?
A TMJ headache comes from dysfunction in the jaw joint (the temporomandibular joint). When the TMJ is misaligned, tense, restricted or under stress, it can irritate the nerves and muscles around the face, neck, and temples — leading to headaches, jaw pain, ear pressure, and facial tightness.
Common symptoms include:
Headaches near temples or behind the eyes
Clicking, popping, or grinding in the jaw
Jaw clenching or grinding teeth
Pain when chewing
Ear pressure or dizziness
Because the TMJ, upper neck, and nervous system are interconnected and work together, problems in one area often affect the others.
Chiropractic care helps restore proper movement in the jaw and upper neck, reduce muscle tension, and calm irritated nerves — which often brings powerful headache relief.
If your headaches are accompanied by jaw pain or clenching, book a consultation — this condition is highly correctable without drugs, botox or surgery.
