It is certainly not the case that the neck is a contributing factor for everyone living with chronic headaches or migraine. We pride ourselves on our thorough assessment process. It should be clear to you at the end of the assessment whether or not your neck is a contributing factor.

How much time it takes to create a sustainable improvement is different for everyone. That said, we are aiming to see a significant change in your symptoms within the initial three weeks of treatment.

This can be different from one person to the next. In the initial phase of treatment, you should expect to need 4-6 sessions to create a meaningful change. Once an improvement to the neck is made, we will begin to replace treatment with simple strategies to maintain the improvements at home.

The initial appointment is $140 and all subsequent appointments are $120. The cost can be subsidised by private health insurance or a care plan from your GP.

If the neck is contributing to the issue, the relevant joints and muscles in the neck are likely to be sore. During the treatment we will be applying pressure directly to these areas. That said, it’s important that you are able to stay relatively relaxed during the treatment for it to be effective. We will always monitor how sore it is and not let it become too uncomfortable.

It is normal for there to be some tenderness in the neck especially after the initial treatment, although this is not always the case. Any post treatment soreness is unlikely to last more than 24 hours.
