Headaches from the neck
Headaches from the neck: treatment at our Finsbury Park clinic
If your headaches arrive with a tight, aching neck, it is worth looking at the neck. We check how your head sits on your spine and correct what is pulling it forward.

Not every headache is a neck problem
Headaches have many causes, and some need a doctor rather than a chiropractor. The ones we help with start in the neck: tension and stiffness at the top of the spine that refers pain up into the head.
How we help with neck-related headaches
At your initial consultation we go through your headache history, then examine your neck, your nerves and your posture, with photos, so we can see how your head and shoulders are sitting.
What care at Posture & Wellness looks like
When the head is carried forward, the muscles at the back of the neck work overtime to hold it up. ABC™ corrects the bones that have shifted forward and lets your head settle back over your shoulders, taking that load off the neck.
At your report of findings we explain what we found and recommend a care plan.
When to seek medical help first
Please seek urgent medical help for a sudden, extremely painful headache, a headache with weakness or numbness, trouble speaking or walking, loss of vision, confusion, a seizure, a very high temperature with a stiff neck, or any headache after a significant head injury.
If your headaches are new, getting worse or simply worrying you, speak to your GP first. We are happy to see you once they have.
Frequently asked questions
Can posture contribute to headaches?
Yes. Poor posture is a common headache trigger. A head carried forward puts constant strain on the neck, and correcting that is what we do.
Should I book if I am unsure what type of headache I have?
If the headache is new, severe or unusual, or comes with any of the symptoms above, see a doctor first. If you have an ongoing pattern with neck pain or stiffness, book a free discovery call and we will talk it through.
