Headache & Migraine Treatment Melbourne
Evidence-based treatment for cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, and migraines. Address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Why Choose Injury Active
Chronic headaches and migraines are debilitating, affecting your work, relationships, and quality of life. Many headache sufferers don't realise that their headaches have a musculoskeletal cause that can be effectively treated with physiotherapy, osteopathy, or myotherapy.
At Injury Active Clinic, our practitioners are trained in the assessment and treatment of cervicogenic headaches, tension-type headaches, and migraine management. We take a thorough approach to identify the specific triggers and contributing factors for your headaches, and treat them directly.
Types We Treat
Headaches originating from the cervical spine, caused by joint dysfunction, muscle tension, or nerve irritation in the neck. Highly responsive to physiotherapy and osteopathy.
The most common headache type, a band-like pressure around the head caused by muscle tension in the neck, scalp, and jaw. Myotherapy and osteopathy are very effective.
Recurring moderate-to-severe headaches often with nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Manual therapy can reduce migraine frequency as an adjunct to medical management.
Headaches caused by temporomandibular joint (jaw) dysfunction, often presenting as temple pain, jaw clicking, or facial pain. Treated with osteopathy and myotherapy.
Headaches triggered by prolonged sitting, screen use, or poor posture, caused by sustained loading of the cervical spine and upper back muscles.
Persistent headaches following a concussion or head injury. Our practitioners work alongside medical management to support recovery.
