Do you suffer from Headaches or Migraines?

Headaches are a very common complaint.   Almost everyone suffers from them at some point in their life.  Some headaches are short-lived times of discomfort, or they can be far more debilitating and long term pain.

Headaches and jaw pain occur for many reasons

  • Tension from muscles in neck, head, and upper back
  • Neck joint dysfunction
  • Poor posture
  • Dentist work
  • Stress
  • Eye strain
  • Sinus congestion
  • Dehydration
  • Jaw misalignment
  • Migraines from changes in blood flow and hormones
  • Trauma (e.g., from a fall, whiplash, or sporting injury)

Migraine Headaches

Migraines are a bit trickier than headaches, and prevention largely lies in avoiding the triggers. The improvements in muscle balance, posture and circulation resulting from treatment can often reduce the frequency or intensity of migraines, and minimise their disruption to your life and/or the amount of medication you need. Common triggers you should try to avoid:

  • Stress
  • Lack of sleep or jet lag
  • Hunger or dehydration
  • Foods
  • Additives
  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine
  • Medication overuse
  • Smells
  • Lights and sounds
  • Weather
  • Female hormones
  • Physical activity

How Premier Wellness Can Help Your Headaches & Migraines

​We will assess the structural changes that may lead to immobility and dysfunctions that cause headaches. Then work gently with your body to:

  • Reduce various muscle and joint tensions
  • Help improve your posture and workplace setup
  • Improve your breathing to increase oxygen flow
  • Improve joint mobility in your neck
  • Reduce nerve irritation
  • Improve blood supply and drainage to and from the head and neck
  • Help prevent future headaches with advice on posture, exercises, and stretching


Additionally, we will look at your lifestyle and help you formulate a plan to make any necessary changes in your lifestyle that may be affecting your headaches.
