How we assess and treat

Scott takes a detailed history of your headaches, including triggers, timing and what helps, then assesses your neck, upper back, jaw and posture. Treatment may include soft tissue work, gentle joint mobilisation or manipulation, dry needling, and exercises for neck strength and control. He'll also look at sleep, stress, hydration and your screen setup.

When to see a doctor first

See your GP or go to emergency if your headache:

  • is sudden and severe, like the worst headache of your life

  • follows a head injury

  • comes with fever, a stiff neck or a rash

  • comes with weakness, numbness, confusion, slurred speech or vision changes

  • is new after age 50, or keeps getting worse
