Osteopathy and NIS for headaches & migraines
Osteopathy and the Neurological Integration System (NIS) take a whole-body approach to providing effective headache and migraine relief, addressing both physical tension and nervous system regulation.
Many headaches are linked to stiffness or strain in the neck, upper back, or jaw. However, factors such as stress, posture, eye strain, sinus congestion, previous injury, or nervous system overload can also contribute to headaches.
Our focus is on identifying and addressing the underlying contributors to your symptoms, supporting your body to function and adapt more effectively after treatment.
Care may support:
- Neck and upper back tension
- Jaw tension or teeth grinding
- Postural strain or desk-related discomfort
- Stress and nervous system overload
- Headaches related to previous injury (e.g. whiplash)
Simone will complete a thorough assessment and tailor care to your individual needs. Treatment is gentle and may include hands-on osteopathic techniques alongside NIS to support communication within the body and nervous system.
Treatment aims to:
- Improve mobility through the neck, spine, and rib cage
- Reduce muscular tension and strain
- Support nervous system regulation
- Improve posture and movement patterns
- Provide guidance on ergonomics, exercise, and prevention
We also assess for any signs that may require referral, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care.
If your headaches are related to an injury, we can assist with ACC claims — no GP referral required.
