Headache Treatment Hamilton | Osteopaths for Headaches & Migraines

Headaches are one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic care in Hamilton. Whether your headaches come from neck tension, jaw (TMJ) issues, stress, posture, or nerve irritation, our osteopaths help identify the cause and provide gentle, evidence-based treatment to reduce pain and prevent it returning.

What Causes Headaches?

Headaches rarely come from one single issue. Common contributors include:

Neck and upper back stiffness
Jaw clenching or TMJ dysfunction
Prolonged desk or screen posture
Muscle tension and stress
Poor sleep or breathing patterns
Old injuries or whiplash
Nerve irritation

Understanding the source of your headache is the key to lasting relief.

How Osteopathy Helps Headaches

Osteopathy looks at how the neck, jaw, upper back, and nervous system interact. Treatment may include:

Gentle neck and upper-back mobilisation
Soft tissue and trigger-point therapy
Jaw (TMJ) treatment if needed
Breathing and posture guidance
Exercise or movement advice

The aim is not just to reduce pain today, but to lower the chance of headaches returning.
