The Hidden Connection Between the Neck and Headaches

Many Australians live with chronic headaches that are actually rooted in the neck — not the head. When the upper cervical spine (neck region) becomes stiff or misaligned, it can irritate nerves and restrict blood flow to the head, triggering tension or migraine-like symptoms.

Common Causes of Neck-Related Headaches

• Poor posture from phone or computer use

• Stress and muscle tension

• Whiplash or minor neck injuries

• Sleep position and pillow support

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Our chiropractors at My Health Chiro use gentle techniques to restore normal motion and alignment in the neck. This releases pressure on nerves, improves circulation, and relaxes tight muscles. Over time, this can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Natural Ways to Support Headache Relief

• Stay hydrated — dehydration is a major trigger.

• Take screen breaks every 30 minutes.

• Stretch your neck and shoulders regularly.

• Maintain consistent sleep patterns.
