Can Chiropractic Help with Headaches, Migraines, or Work-From-Home Strain?

If you live in Cammeray or across Sydney’s North Shore, chances are you’ve experienced tension headaches, migraines, or that nagging neck pain that comes from long hours at the desk or working from home. These problems aren’t just inconvenient — they can affect your focus, mood, and quality of life.

At Cammeray Chiropractic & Performance Centre, many of our patients come in asking:
👉 “Can a chiropractor really help with headaches or migraines?”
The short answer is: yes, in many cases. Here’s why.

Why Do Headaches Happen?

Headaches and migraines can have many triggers, but some of the most common include:

  • Neck and shoulder tension from sitting at a computer

  • Poor posture and “tech neck” from looking down at phones

  • Jaw tension or clenching (often stress-related)

  • Spinal misalignments or joint restrictions in the upper neck

These issues often create irritation around nerves, muscles, and blood vessels, which can trigger pain signals and even migraine episodes.

How Chiropractic Care May Help

Chiropractic treatment doesn’t just cover back pain — it can also help relieve certain types of headaches and migraines.

Chiropractic approaches may include:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments to restore movement in the neck and upper back

  • Soft tissue release to ease tight muscles and reduce nerve irritation

  • Postural coaching to reduce strain from your desk or home office setup

  • Corrective exercises to build long-term strength and stability

By addressing the underlying mechanical stress on your spine and nervous system, many patients report fewer headaches, less intensity, and improved quality of life.

Work-From-Home Strain in Cammeray

Since 2020, we’ve noticed a sharp rise in patients experiencing “work-from-home strain.” Hours spent at makeshift desks, kitchen tables, or couches often lead to:

  • Stiff neck and shoulders

  • Tension headaches

  • Fatigue and poor concentration

Even small changes like adjusting your chair height, lifting your screen, or taking stretch breaks can make a huge difference.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you notice:

  • Frequent or worsening headaches

  • Migraines that interfere with daily life

  • Headache pain combined with dizziness, nausea, or vision changes

…it’s time to get a professional assessment. A chiropractor can work alongside your GP or other health providers to ensure you receive the right care.
