Headaches
Headaches are one of the most frequent reasons people seek support for musculoskeletal health. They can be occasional or persistent, mild or interruptive, and for many individuals they create a noticeable impact on focus, work, sleep and general day-to-day comfort.
At Optimum Chiropractic, we take a structured approach to understanding headaches. Rather than only focusing on the symptom itself, we assess how the spine, muscles and nervous system may be contributing — particularly around the neck and upper back, where movement patterns can influence tension.
Our aim is not just to ask where it hurts.
It’s to ask why it may be happening.
Why headaches may develop?
Headaches can arise from many different sources — sometimes spontaneous, other times linked to posture, muscle tension or lifestyle patterns. Contributing factors may include:
• Prolonged desk or screen time
• Forward-head posture or reduced neck mobility
• Muscle tightness in the upper back or shoulders
• Stress or load changes over time
• Previous injury or repetitive strain
• Sleep disruption or ergonomic setup
Pain is often the surface-level signal, not always the root driver.
Understanding that difference matters.
(Not all headaches are musculoskeletal in origin. Where red flags present or further investigation is appropriate, referral is made.)
How we assess
✔ Cervical spine movement patterns
✔ Muscle tension and postural load
✔ Joint restrictions or asymmetry
✔ Neurological responses and reflexes
✔ Lifestyle and work demands
