Neck Pain and Headaches: How Chiropractic Treatment Can Help

Neck pain and headaches often go hand in hand. What many don’t realise is that the source of recurring headaches might be sitting right in the neck. Chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free approach that gets to the root. At The Wellness Place in Bassendean, our chiropractors help you find lasting relief.

Why Neck Pain and Headaches Go Together

Up to 20% of headaches originate from the cervical spine. Known as cervicogenic headaches, they start at the base of the skull and radiate forward — caused by dysfunction in neck joints, muscles, or nerves.

Common Causes

Poor Posture

Hours hunched over a computer places enormous strain on the neck. Forward head posture doubles the effective weight on your neck muscles.

Stress

Chronic stress keeps neck and shoulder muscles in constant tension, irritating nerves that travel into your scalp.

Whiplash

Car accidents and sports collisions can cause long-term neck pain and cervicogenic headaches.

What Chiropractic Involves

Spinal Adjustments

Precise, controlled movements to restore normal joint motion and reduce nerve irritation — particularly effective for the upper cervical spine.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Myofascial release and trigger point therapy to relax tight muscles around the neck and shoulders.

Exercise Prescription

Specific exercises to strengthen weak deep neck flexors and improve posture, plus ergonomic advice for your workstation and sleep setup.
