Common Issues with Headaches & Migraines
The majority of headaches and migraines have a common source. When you take a paracetamol or prescribed drug you are masking the symptom but not fixing the problem. Find out the common source of headache and migraine in our Relieve Migraine & Headache guide.
Your GP, friends or family have never mentioned physio for my headache or migraine so you never considered it.
Headache and migraine drains your energy levels and can affect your family life and relationships significantly. Please don’t continue to let headache control your life. We want to help.
You take painkillers to ease your headache but now they’re not really working. Often codeine based painkillers and triptans actually CAUSE headache – you need to get you off these as soon as possible. We offer a drug free approach to managing headache and migraine. Are you taking the GP prescribed tablets that can cause Medication Overuse Headache? Find out in our Migraine & Headache Guide.
Migraine and Headache sufferers are more prone to Vertigo or dizziness with head movements. This is often related to the same SOURCE of the headache or migraine issue. This can be resolved by helping restore the health of the upper neck!
Perhaps you had physio before and they just gave you some stretches or a bit of massage – this is not effective for headaches and migraine. You need EXPERT treatment for a very specific problem.
Occasionally people see nearly EVERY other health professional before someone finally mentions physio. You may have been referred to a neurologist, orthopaedic consultant, dentist, optician and no-one has found any issue – can physio help!? Yes, see Geoffrey’s story below after years headaches and waiting for unnecessary referrals Geoffrey eased his headaches at Causeway Physio & Pilates.
So many people simply don’t know how effective physio can be for types of headache/migraine. You try everything else: dietary changes, headache diary’s, changing glasses, different medications from your GP. You may be missing the simple solution! Check out our Relieve Migraine & Headache Ebook to find out if you have one of the common types of migraine or headache that we relieve regularly.
Stress triggers my headache so I know it’s not caused by neck. WRONG. Stress sensitises nerves and causes increased muscle tension. This combination feeds into headache. We help you resolve the underlying issue which means that your body can cope with stress without triggering a triggering headache or migraine. Stress is a factor but it is not the source of the problem in most cases.
You may have other associated symptoms such as vertigo, “fuzzy” head feeling, slight dizziness, facial pain, ongoing neck pain that make you think that there may be something that physio can’t help with. These symptoms are fairly common and are often related to irritation of the nerves at the top of the neck. We can help with vertigo, dizziness, fuzzy head and facial pain. Why not try a Free Taster Physio session OR speak with one of our experts via our 10 min Call Back to find out if physio is right for you.
Our clients often find that they have significantly less headaches/migraines and can cope with more stress in their life for longer periods without recurring pain.

Headache & Migraine
We know that if you regularly suffer from Migraine or Headache it can significantly affect your quality of life. It’s common for Migraineurs to have higher rates of depression, anxiety and lower sense of general wellbeing. Whether you suffer from headache or migraine regularly or only now and again you can reduce, or even fully often resolve your headaches and migraine with specialist physio for headaches and migraines.
Our experts can assess and find out if you have the VERY COMMON underlying condition that can irritate the nerves of the upper neck. We can help you correct the nerve irritation and you should see results within a few weeks. Here are a few common types of headaches we see in the clinic:
Tension Type Headache & Daily Headache
Persistent headaches that go on for days to weeks are almost certainly related to neck and upper back problems. Nerve sensitivity in the upper neck is often affected by day to day activities, over longer periods of time the sensitivity of these nerves can become heightened leading to headaches. Stress is often a factor but it is not the source of the problem. How do the nerves get sensitive? Why does this cause headache? What can I do to stop this? Find out the answers in our Relieve Migraine & Headache Guide. This is often a straight forward type of headache to resolve and we would love to help you get FAST and EFFECTIVE relief. Often improvements are seen after 1-2 sessions! Find out if we can help relieve your exercise induced headache by requesting a Free Taster Physio Session OR a 10 Min Physio Call Back.
Menstrual Migraine
Menstrual Migraine is in the TOP 5 disabling conditions for women. 1 in 4 women experience migraines and up to 60% of those women will experience migraine related to their menstrual cycle. For years the common belief has been that hormone changes are the cause of menstrual migraine. We now know that hormones are not the cause of menstrual migraine or headache the source of the problem is the same as those with Tension Type Headache. We go into detail about the source of what is causing your menstrual migraine AND what can be done to relieve your headache and migraine for good! Simply get our Free Relieve Headache and Migraine guide to find out what is causing menstrual migraine.
Migraine With and Without Aura
What is migraine and why does it kick off after I drink red wine OR eat certain foods like dark chocolate? Why do strong smells trigger Migraine? What can I do to stop having regular migraines? The cause of the migraine is related to the nerves of the upper neck. To find out how these little nerves can cause so much trouble please get the answers in our Free Relieve Migraine & Headache Guide. You don’t have to have neck pain for this issue to be present, it can simply lurk silently in the background. We would love for you to have less Migraines so book online or call 028 703 59592 to book.
Road Traffic Accident YEARS ago
If you were in a car accident recently OR even if it was years ago and have experienced occasional OR frequent headache/migraine since, it is extremely likely you have an underlying neck issue. We discuss the COMMON cause of headache and migraine in our Migraine and Headache Guide. After a whiplash injury it is VERY likely that you also have an additional problem to the issue discussed in our guide. You may have an underlying weakness of the very small muscles in the upper neck in response to whiplash. If this problem is not addressed then the headaches and migraines may actually become more frequent as the neck and shoulder muscles become weaker with age. With treatment and rehabilitation you can expect excellent relief from post whiplash related headache & migraine REGARDLESS of how long it’s been since the accident.
