Drug-free headache and migraine relief at our Glenfield and Orewa clinics. Osteopathy targets the structural causes. Acupuncture reduces frequency and severity. Both are proven — and they work even better together.
Many chronic headaches and migraines have a structural or physiological cause that medication alone does not address. At Premier Wellness on Auckland's North Shore, our practitioners identify and treat the underlying drivers of your headaches — whether they originate from the cervical spine, muscle tension, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal patterns or systemic inflammatory triggers.
Cervicogenic headaches — driven by dysfunction in the upper cervical joints — respond extremely well to osteopathy. Tension headaches caused by chronic neck and shoulder tension respond to both osteopathy and massage. Migraines, which have a complex neurological and systemic basis, respond strongly to acupuncture as a preventive treatment and to functional medicine investigation when hormonal or dietary triggers are involved.
Our Glenfield clinic on the North Shore sees patients from Albany, Takapuna, Birkenhead, Northcote, Forrest Hill and Sunnynook. Our Orewa clinic serves the Hibiscus Coast including Silverdale, Millwater, Whangaparaoa and Red Beach.
Our North Shore team has experience treating the full spectrum of headache and migraine presentations.
Our multidisciplinary team uses six evidence-based modalities and can combine them for faster, more lasting results.
Osteopathy is one of the most effective treatments for cervicogenic and tension headaches — addressing the restricted upper cervical joints, suboccipital muscle tension and postural imbalances that are the structural root cause of most chronic headaches. Many patients notice immediate relief after their first treatment.
Osteopathy North ShoreAcupuncture has robust clinical evidence for migraine prevention — reducing both frequency and severity. It regulates the nervous system, reduces cortisol and neurological inflammation, and addresses hormonal patterns that trigger migraines. Highly effective as a regular preventive treatment for migraine sufferers.
Acupuncture AucklandDeep tissue massage to the neck, occipital region and shoulders releases the chronic muscle tension that drives tension headaches and contributes to cervicogenic headaches. Regular massage significantly reduces headache frequency for patients whose headaches are muscle-tension driven.
Massage AucklandPhysiotherapy addresses the postural and ergonomic patterns — particularly desk posture and screen use — that create the chronic cervical tension driving most tension and cervicogenic headaches. Deep cervical strengthening reduces long-term headache recurrence.
Physiotherapy AucklandFor patients with migraines that have hormonal, dietary or inflammatory triggers, functional medicine investigates the systemic drivers. Hormonal panels, food sensitivity testing and gut health assessment can identify migraine triggers that no structural treatment alone can address.
Functional MedicineDiet plays a major role in migraine triggers — food sensitivities, blood sugar dysregulation, magnesium deficiency and inflammatory dietary patterns all contribute. Our nutritionists identify your specific dietary triggers and develop an anti-inflammatory, migraine-supportive nutritional protocol.
