Some headaches are associated with neck movement or muscle and joint problems, but migraine and other headache disorders require the right medical assessment.
General educational information, not a diagnosis. Clinical review has not been recorded.
What happens during an assessment?
A physiotherapist can explore whether neck symptoms, movement and activities appear relevant, while screening for warning signs and medical referral needs.
What might a care plan include?
If a musculoskeletal contribution is identified, gentle movement, strength, posture-related work and self-management may be considered alongside prescribed medical care.
Questions patients ask
Is headache & migraine-related neck care right for me?
There is no one treatment plan that suits everyone. The first step is to review the symptoms, medical history and functional goals, then decide whether physiotherapy, additional medical assessment or a different service is appropriate.
What should I bring to an assessment?
Please bring relevant reports or imaging if you already have them, a current medication list when relevant and a brief description of what daily activities have become difficult. You do not need to obtain scans solely to book a first enquiry.
Safety and next steps
A sudden 'worst-ever' headache, fever with neck stiffness or new neurological signs requires emergency medical assessment.
