Tension & cervicogenic headache

Osteopath for Headaches in Vancouver

Many headaches that feel like they start behind the eyes or at the temples actually originate in the neck and upper back. When posture, screen time or an old injury keep those areas tight, headaches tend to become a regular visitor. Osteopathy addresses that mechanical root cause.

Headache — What It Looks Like

Many headaches that feel like they start behind the eyes or at the temples actually originate in the neck and upper back. When posture, screen time or an old injury keep those areas tight, headaches tend to become a regular visitor. Osteopathy addresses that mechanical root cause.

  • Headache that starts at the base of the skull and spreads forward
  • Pain linked to long periods at a desk or on a phone
  • Tightness in the neck and shoulders alongside the headache
  • Headaches that build gradually through the day
  • Jaw clenching or grinding contributing to tension

How Osteopathy Helps

By releasing tension in the neck, jaw and upper back and improving how the head sits on the spine, our osteopaths reduce the mechanical triggers behind many recurring headaches, often alongside simple posture and stretching advice for daily prevention.
