Headache Treatment
Osteopathy has been proven to help with cervicogenic headaches, where the pain starts from tension in your neck muscles. However, we have extensive experience helping patients with many different types of headaches.
When you come to us with headaches, we always check your blood pressure as part of our assessment. When necessary, we refer you to other health professionals like GPs, nutritionists, or hormone specialists to help you gain control of your symptoms.
Here at Carmeron-Mitchell Osteopaths, we understand that headaches can be complex and often have multiple causes. We take a thorough approach to find what’s triggering your headaches and create an effective treatment plan.
Common Headache Complaint We Treat:
- Cervicogenic headaches (neck-related)
- Tension headaches
- Migraines with or without aura
- Medication overuse headaches
- Stress-related headaches
- Postural headaches
What your headaches might feel like
Headaches vary greatly depending on the type and cause. You might experience throbbing pain, constant pressure, sharp stabbing sensations, or pain that spreads from your neck. Some headaches come with nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances.
How We Treat Headaches
We start with a detailed assessment including your headache history, triggers, and patterns. We examine your neck, jaw, and posture as these often contribute to headache problems.
Our osteopathic treatment focuses on reducing neck tension, improving posture, and addressing any underlying musculoskeletal issues. We use gentle techniques including soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and specific exercises.
We also provide advice on lifestyle factors, posture, and stress management that can help reduce headache frequency and intensity. When needed, we work with other healthcare professionals to address all aspects of your headaches.

I first saw Duncan, two years ago, when I had a very painful shoulder and had to work at an event where I would be using my arms and shoulders all the time. Duncan treated me and managed to get me through the event which was nothing short of a miracle. Since then both my father and my brother-in-law have also become patients of Duncan and found his services to be exceptional. Duncan is both friendly and entirely professional and I would be happy to recommend his services to anyone.
I had two sessions with Duncan which were incredibly beneficial and helped to ease my lower back pain. I found Duncan to be professional and informative and you can tell he really cares about what he practices. I highly recommend his practice for anybody who’s experiencing pain!
I was suffering with a combination of shoulder, back and knee issues which Duncan got to grips with, alleviating the discomfort and leaving me feeling reinvigorated and refreshed. I’d definitely recommend giving him a go. I found the treatment more effective than some acupuncture and physiotherapy i’d had in the past.
