Where the pain starts.
How We Treat Headache
Headaches Migraines rarely comes from one structure. We coordinate across three treatments — the right combination depends on your case. Chiropractic is the right starting point when your headache pattern is cervicogenic — pain that originates in the neck and refers up into the skull. The chiropractic team assesses upper-cervical joint mechanics, which share nerve pathways with the back of the head, the temples, and the orbit. Technique is adapted for sensitive presentations. Best fit when headaches are triggered by neck position, prolonged screen time, or specific movements.

Registered Massage Therapy
Our RMTs target the specific muscles most involved: the suboccipitals, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, temporalis, and masseter. Reducing tension in these muscles lowers the headache threshold and reduces frequency.
Osteopathy
Dina Ibrahim M.OMSc assesses the cervical spine in its full structural context. Thoracic restrictions, rib dysfunction, and postural asymmetries can transfer load into the upper cervical region. Osteopathic manual therapy addresses these contributing relationships.
