Headache & Migraine Treatment in London, ON

Headaches and migraines can affect your ability to focus, sleep, work, and function normally. While headaches are common, they are not always something you should simply push through.

At London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic, we provide headache and migraine treatment in London, ON with a focus on identifying musculoskeletal, postural, and tension-related contributors that may be playing a role in your symptoms.

Depending on your presentation, care may include  Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, and, at our Hamilton Road location, Manual Osteopathic Treatment, as part of an integrated treatment plan.

Types of Headaches We Commonly See

Our team commonly assesses patients with:

• Tension headaches
• Cervicogenic headaches (headaches influenced by the neck)
• Headaches associated with posture or muscle tension
• Headaches linked to jaw tension or upper body tightness
• Patients with migraines who may also have contributing neck and muscular factors

Common Symptoms

Symptoms may include:

• Dull, aching pain or pressure
• Tightness at the base of the skull
• Pain behind the eyes
• Neck stiffness or upper trapezius tension
• Sensitivity to light or sound
• Recurring headache patterns
• Headaches that worsen with desk work, posture, or stress

What Can Contribute to Headaches?

Headaches can have multiple contributing factors. In many cases, we assess for issues such as:

• Neck and upper spine dysfunction
• Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
• Postural strain
• Jaw tension and TMJ-related muscular involvement
• Stress and tension patterns
• Reduced mobility in the cervical or thoracic spine

How We Treat Headaches at London Chiropractic & Massage Clinic

Treatment depends on the nature of your symptoms and assessment findings. Your care plan may include:

• Chiropractic treatment for the neck and upper spine where appropriate
• Physiotherapy to address movement, posture, and muscle control
• Registered Massage Therapy to reduce muscular tension and soft tissue restriction
• Acupuncture as part of an integrated treatment plan, provided by Dr. Eric Jackson, Dr. Keith Leung, Dr. Chris Lindner, and Chi Ho Don Mok, RMT where clinically appropriate
• Mobility and strengthening exercises
• Postural correction and ergonomic recommendations
• Education around triggers, tension patterns, and symptom management

Why Acupuncture May Be Included

For some patients, Acupuncture may be recommended as part of an integrated plan to help reduce muscular tension, calm the nervous system, and support pain reduction. This can be particularly helpful when headaches are associated with neck tightness, stress, or chronic tension patterns.

Why a Whole-Body Approach Matters

Headaches are often influenced by more than one factor. Addressing the neck, posture, jaw tension, muscular tightness, and movement patterns can improve outcomes and help reduce the frequency or intensity of symptoms over time.

When to Seek Care

You may benefit from assessment if you are experiencing:

• Frequent headaches
• Headaches linked to neck stiffness or posture
• Ongoing tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw
• Headaches that interfere with work, sleep, or daily activity
• Recurring headache patterns that do not fully resolve

Important Note
Not all headaches or migraines are musculoskeletal in origin. If your symptoms suggest a non-musculoskeletal cause or require further medical investigation, appropriate referral may be recommended.
