When the body is stuck in “go mode,” tension doesn’t just build in the neck or shoulders. It builds in the nervous system. You might be eating well, sleeping early, and doing everything “right”—but if your body is constantly bracing, the pain never truly lets go.

That low-level, ongoing tension can quietly sensitise the brainstem, overload the system, and keep you stuck in a cycle of flare-ups. The real solution isn’t always to do more. Sometimes, it’s to give the nervous system space to reset.

That’s exactly what we assess and address at Melbourne Headache Solutions—because chronic migraines aren’t just about triggers. They’re about how your body is coping underneath it all.

21/09/2025

Everyday habits like slouching at your desk, craning your neck toward a screen, clenching your jaw, or constantly rotating to one side can create subtle but constant strain. Over time, these repetitive patterns overload the neck, irritate the brainstem, and quietly activate the nervous system. These aren’t just posture problems — they’re functional issues that keep your system on edge.

Many people don’t feel pain while doing these things. That’s why they’re often missed. But in someone prone to migraines, that extra load on the neck and spine can be enough to tip the system into a flare.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we don’t just ask about your pain — we assess how your entire body is moving and how your nervous system is responding to that movement. Because the cause isn’t always where the pain is. And what feels “normal” to you might be what’s keeping you stuck.

Hours at the desk. Shoulders rounded. Head jutting forward.
That hidden load on the neck was enough to irritate the brainstem—and set off daily migraines.

A simple change—adjusting the chair and supporting the neck properly—reduced the pressure and gave the nervous system space to calm down.

Add in targeted treatment, and the migraines finally lifted.

👉 If you’ve been told “nothing can be done,” it may just mean no one has found your trigger yet.

The pounding pain, light sensitivity, dizziness, brain fog — they’re not random.

They’re signs of a nervous system that’s overwhelmed, overloaded, and no longer regulating properly.

That’s why you can’t fix migraines with medication alone.

Because the real issue isn’t just surface-level pain.
It’s what’s happening underneath:

🔁 Brainstem hypersensitivity
💥 Poor sleep recovery
📉 Autonomic imbalance
🧠 Postural strain on key neural pathways

This is why generic treatments don’t work long-term—
They don’t calm the system.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we focus on what your body is trying to tell you…
And we address it from the inside out.

This is where we map your triggers.

Food diaries. Symptom trackers. Migraine apps.
They can be helpful—but they often miss what really matters:

👉 The pattern.

Most people track what they eat or when they get a headache…
But without clinical insight, it’s easy to overlook the cause-and-effect relationships driving those flare-ups.

For example:
– Is it the chocolate… or the fact you skipped lunch before eating it?
– Is it your posture… or the stress that caused the tension in the first place?
– Is it hormones… or the neck dysfunction making you more sensitive to them?

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we look at the full picture:
✅ Your neck mechanics
✅ Your nervous system load
✅ Your daily routines, posture, stress & sleep

Together, we map out the patterns that most clinics miss—and help you build a plan that actually works.

✍️ If you’ve been tracking everything and still feel like nothing makes sense...
👉 It’s time to stop guessing.

Morning neck rolls. Shoulder stretches at the desk. A few yoga poses before bed.

It felt like the right thing to do—something to release tension and prevent flare-ups.

But for some people with chronic migraines, daily stretching is actually doing the opposite.

Here’s why:

👉 When the upper neck is already sensitised—especially around the brainstem—certain stretches can pull on already irritated structures.

Instead of calming the system, they stimulate it.

❌ Over-stretching small stabilising muscles
❌ Repeated strain on joints that are already dysfunctional
❌ Increasing mechanical pressure without realising it

The result? More symptoms. More tension. More migraines.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we often see clients who’ve been unknowingly making their pain worse—despite their best intentions.

That’s why we assess how your neck is actually functioning before recommending any movement or rehab plan.

Because relief isn’t about doing more… it’s about doing what’s right for your body.

25/08/2025

Here’s one of the most overlooked migraine triggers we see in clinic:

☕ Caffeine timing.

➡ Drinking coffee too early (especially on an empty stomach) can spike cortisol—the body’s main stress hormone—followed by a mid-morning crash.

➡ Having caffeine too late in the day can disrupt sleep patterns, increasing your risk of a migraine flare-up the following day.

It’s not just what you’re drinking.
It’s when—and what your body is doing at the time.

And if caffeine is paired with…
– Skipped or delayed meals
– Dehydration
– Bright screens first thing in the morning
– Erratic sleep and wake times

…you’ve created a perfect storm for your nervous system.

These small, everyday habits might not seem like a big deal—
But for someone with a sensitised brainstem or an overloaded system, they can quietly build up and tip the body into migraine territory.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we don’t just look at your symptoms.
We map out your lifestyle patterns, test for mechanical triggers, and help you make small changes that lead to real relief.

Most people don’t realise their neck is the missing piece.

That’s something Kevin Tee, Osteopath, sees every week in the clinic.

For many people with treatment-resistant migraines, the pain doesn’t start in the head—it starts in the upper neck.

Even subtle dysfunction in this area can irritate the brainstem, disrupt nervous system signalling, and set off the kind of relentless migraine cycle that no medication seems to fix.

Kevin focuses in identifying these neck-based triggers and applying targeted, hands-on treatment to relieve pressure, restore function, and calm the system.

His approach goes far beyond simple stretches or general massage.

✅ He assesses joint movement and stability
✅ He tests for brainstem sensitivity
✅ He connects posture, stress, sleep, and lifestyle factors into one personalised care plan

For those who feel like they’ve “tried everything,” this is often the turning point.

Eating clean. Sleeping early. Stretching daily. Still waking up in pain

It’s a story we hear often:
People who’ve changed their diet, fixed their sleep, added yoga or stretching routines…
but still wake up in pain.

The missing piece?
Daily habits that seem healthy but are silently triggering the nervous system.

☕ Starting the day with multiple cups of coffee on an empty stomach
💧 Delayed hydration until mid-morning

That combination puts the body on a daily rollercoaster:
– Sudden cortisol spikes
– Midday crashes
– Increased neck and shoulder tension
– Sleep disturbances

These patterns overload a system already on edge—and for people with migraines, that tipping point is all it takes.

The fix isn’t always a total lifestyle overhaul.
Sometimes it’s small, targeted shifts based on what your body actually needs.

That’s why we assess your entire system—not just your symptoms.

👉 If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, it’s time to look beneath the surface.

10/08/2025

It might not look like much, but just 2–3cm of forward head posture (like when you lean into a screen or slump at your desk) can add over 13kg of extra strain to your neck.

That added pressure doesn’t just cause stiffness.
It can irritate the brainstem—a highly sensitive control centre involved in pain regulation, balance, and migraine signalling.

And here's the scary part:
👉 Standard MRIs and CT scans won’t pick it up.

That means you could walk out of a clinic being told everything’s “normal”…
Meanwhile, your neck is pulling constantly on the very area that sets off your migraines.

Most treatments focus on the head, eyes, or medication.
But without addressing posture and neck function, the root cause remains—and so does the pain.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we focus in uncovering these missed mechanical triggers through detailed, hands-on assessment and targeted therapy.

👉 If your migraines seem random, but your neck always feels tight...
This might be the key no one’s checked.

Still getting migraines despite taking all the right meds?
You’re not the problem — the approach might be.

Painkillers, triptans, and preventives can offer short-term relief. But for many people, they don’t solve the real issue. That’s because migraines aren’t always just a chemical imbalance — they can also be driven by physical and lifestyle factors no one’s investigated.

👀 At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we take a different path.
Here’s how we help:
✔️ A full-body assessment — including your neck, jaw, posture, sleep, and more
✔️ A tailored plan based on your unique triggers
✔️ Hands-on treatment to relieve pressure and improve movement
Our goal? Not just fewer migraines — but lasting relief that doesn’t rely on medication alone.

Headaches that start in your head... but the problem’s in your neck or jaw?

It happens more often than you’d think.

The upper neck and jaw are packed with nerves and muscles that connect directly to the head. When something’s not moving well—tightness, stiffness, clenching—it can refer pain straight to the temples, forehead, or even behind the eyes.

That’s why our assessments at Melbourne Headache Solutions always look at:
🔍 Neck range of motion
🔍 Jaw tension and clenching habits
🔍 How these areas interact under stress

Most people have never had these checked properly—yet they’re key players in stubborn headaches and migraines.
