Headaches

Evidence based care for Headaches and Migraines — helping Central Coast locals find lasting comfort.

Headache & Migraine Treatment on the Central Coast

Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. Many are linked to the neck and upper spine, where muscle tension, joint dysfunction and nerve irritation can trigger pain. Others are influenced by posture, stress, poor sleep, dehydration, diet, or workplace ergonomics.

At Central Coast Chiropractic & Massage Therapy, our focus is on identifying the underlying causes of your headaches—not just easing the symptoms. Through a thorough examination, we determine whether your headaches are related to neck or spinal issues, muscle tension, or other contributing factors, and tailor our treatment.

Common Causes of Headaches

While headaches can have many triggers, a large number are linked to issues within the neck, spine, and surrounding muscles. Lifestyle factors, posture, and daily habits often play a major role, and understanding these causes is the first step toward effective, long-term relief.

  • Neck joint dysfunction and muscle tension
  • Poor posture and workplace ergonomics
  • Jaw/TMJ issues
  • Eye strain and screen time
  • Sinus congestion
  • Dehydration/low water intake
  • Stress and poor sleep habits
  • Diet and nutritional factors

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

We use gentle, evidence‑based techniques which may aid in the reduction of headache frequency and intensity:

  • Specific spinal/neck adjustments and mobilisation
  • Soft‑tissue and myofascial release
  • TMJ-focused techniques when appropriate
  • Posture and ergonomic coaching
  • Targeted stretches and strengthening to support the neck and shoulders
  • Education on lifestyle triggers and prevention strategies
  • Dry needling where clinically indicated
