Headache Clinic

Are headaches disrupting your work, sleep, or daily life? Whether you’re suffering from migraines, tension-type headaches, or cervicogenic headaches, our team at Better Health Osteopathy in Christchurch is here to help.

Our Christchurch osteopaths use a holistic approach to treating headaches, targeting the root causes—often found in the neck and spine—so you can feel better, function better, and get back to doing what you love.

Did You Know?

• Over 75% of people experience a headache at some point in their lives
• Tension-type headaches (TTH) are the most common, accounting for up to 90% of all headaches
• Factors such as poor posture, anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances, and neck dysfunction are often at the root cause
• The brain itself has no pain receptors, but surrounding structures, including muscles, joints, fascia, and blood vessels, do. Pain referred from these areas frequently presents as headaches.

Why Choose Osteopathy for Headaches?

If you’re looking for a natural way to treat headaches without medication, our team are here to help.

Our Christchurch-based osteopaths commonly treat:

• Tension-type headaches
• Migraines
• Cervicogenic headaches (arising from the neck)

Our treatment approach may include:

• Gentle spinal and joint manipulation
• Soft tissue release to reduce muscle tension
• Stretching and mobility techniques to improve function
• Postural and ergonomic advice to reduce future strain
• Rehabilitation exercises tailored to your needs

We focus on more than just symptom relief—we aim to treat the root cause and support long-term recovery.

What Our Patients Have To Say? 

“After years of weekly migraines, I finally feel in control of my health again. I have tried many, many other therapies over the past 20 years and have never experienced results like these previously. I only wish I’d found osteopathy sooner!”
– Sarah, Christchurch
