Understanding Headaches
Common Causes of Headaches
Headaches have many causes, including tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, stress, poor sleep, dehydration, eye strain and migraine. Tension-type headaches are the most common and are often felt as a band of pressure around the head.
Stiff joints in the upper neck can also refer pain to the head. Chiropractic care may help when the neck is a contributing factor, combined with advice on posture, desk set-up and movement. A proper assessment is needed to tell the types apart.
Clear, personalised care for headaches
Every headache consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your neck, upper back and posture, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Headaches?
When you have headaches, it is important to find the cause. I take a detailed history and examine your neck, upper back, jaw and posture before creating a personalised plan, which may include joint mobilisation or adjustments, soft tissue work, exercises and lifestyle advice.
Gentle neck techniques are used where suitable, and I will explain every step. If your headaches have features that suggest a different cause, I will refer you to your GP or another specialist.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Headaches Symptoms
Headaches From Neck Tension or Desk Work
Neck-related headaches often start at the base of the skull and spread over one side of the head or behind the eye. They may be worse after sitting at a screen, driving or sleeping awkwardly, and can come with a stiff neck or tight shoulders.
Regular breaks, a screen at eye level, drinking enough water and good sleep habits can all help while you are being assessed. If a headache is sudden and severe, or comes with the warning signs below, seek medical help promptly. See also migraine care.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Headaches
Can a chiropractor help with headaches?
Chiropractic care may help some types of headache, particularly tension-type headaches and headaches linked to the neck. I assess your neck, upper back and posture and then advise whether chiropractic is suitable.
What causes tension headaches?
Common triggers include stress, long periods at a screen, poor posture, muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, poor sleep and dehydration.
Are neck-related headaches different?
They often start at the base of the skull and may be linked to stiffness in the upper neck. Movement or pressure in the neck can reproduce the pain.
When should I seek urgent help for a headache?
Seek emergency help for a sudden severe headache, a headache after a head injury, or a headache with fever, stiff neck, confusion, weakness, slurred speech or vision changes.
Is a chiropractor the right person for migraines?
Migraines are a neurological condition. Chiropractic care may help where the neck contributes, but your GP should be involved in diagnosis and medication. See our migraine page.
What happens at a first headaches appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for headaches?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
