Gold Coast Headache & Migraine Clinic
1800 HEADACHE
Experience A Medication-Free Treatment
We routinely assess 3 areas of your body to ensure that you receive a thorough, individualised treatment plan. We assess your brainstem for sensitivity, to determine if it is sending pain signals to your head. We then look at your neck, to see if it is related to this sensitive brainstem. We also examine your whole body, in order to assess whether it itself is hyper-sensitive to certain triggers, or your posture is contributing to your condition.
Is Your Neck The Contributing Factor
If we can determine that your brainstem is the true cause of your headaches or migraines, you can expect certain treatment techniques to your upper cervical spine and neck. You can be rest assured that we do not manipulate, click or clunk your neck, instead we perform gentle and sustained pressures to specific vertebrae in the neck. We perform these techniques in order to de-sensitise your brainstem, which we have linked as the cause of your headaches or migraines. We know that this process is designed in order to see results in the shortest amount of time.
This technique has been developed and pioneered according to modern research by Dr. Dean Watson, founder of the Watson Headache® Institute. His research has revealed that specific segments of the upper cervical spine are the Primary Contributing Factors to all different headache and migraine types. At Gold Coast Headache & Migraine Clinic, our treatment follows the Watson Headache Approach and this latest, modern research.
