Migraine & Headache Chiropractor Melbourne

A Brain First Chiropractic approach to migraine regulation and relief

Migraines and headaches are neurological conditions, not just pain disorders.

Many migraines originate from how the brain processes balance, vision, neck input, and autonomic regulation. Even when scans appear normal, the nervous system may remain dysregulated, driving recurrent or persistent symptoms.

A Brain First chiropractic approach focuses on restoring how the brain integrates information so migraine frequency, intensity, and recovery can improve.


When to see a migraine Chiropractor

This approach may be suitable if you:

  • Experience frequent or recurring migraines

  • Have vestibular migraine or dizziness with headaches

  • Notice neck pain associated with headaches

  • Have not improved with medication alone

  • Experience post-concussion or stress related headaches

Care can be effective even if migraines have been present for years.


Common migraine and headache symptoms

Migraine presentations vary and can change over time.

Symptoms may include:

  • One sided or bilateral head pain

  • Throbbing or pressure sensations

  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or movement

  • Dizziness or vertigo

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Visual disturbances or aura

  • Neck pain or stiffness

  • Brain fog or fatigue

If headaches are frequent, severe, or unpredictable, the nervous system may still be under strain.


Migraine related conditions treated

Migraines often overlap with other neurological and balance related conditions, including:

  • Vestibular migraine

  • Cluster headaches

  • Chronic daily headache

  • Cervicogenic headache

  • Post concussion headaches

  • Hormonal migraines

  • Stress and nervous system related headaches

Understanding the underlying driver is essential for effective care.


Why a Brain First Chiropractic approach works

Migraines are influenced by how the brain integrates sensory input from the eyes, inner ear, neck, jaw, and body.

When this integration is inefficient, the nervous system compensates. These compensations can maintain migraine patterns even when triggers are avoided.

Brain First Chiropractic care focuses on:

  • Improving balance and vestibular system integration

  • Reducing overload within the nervous system

  • Supporting eye, neck, and movement coordination

  • Enhancing autonomic regulation

  • Improving brain body communication

This approach addresses why migraines occur, not just when they appear.

All care is adapted to your current tolerance to avoid symptom flare ups.
