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.

✨ Take our free Migraine Assessment today and let’s find out what’s really going on.

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.

Research shows that many chronic headache and migraine sufferers go years—sometimes decades—without getting to the root cause of their symptoms.

Why?
Because most traditional assessments don’t look beyond the basics. Scans come back clear. Blood tests are ""normal."" You're sent home with medications, but the pain always returns.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we dig deeper.
Our approach is built on evidence-based assessment that considers the real drivers behind headaches and migraines—like the upper neck, jaw mechanics, nervous system sensitivity, posture, and lifestyle triggers.

It’s not about masking symptoms.
It’s about identifying the underlying cause—so you can finally find lasting relief.

Why do my migraines happen out of nowhere?”

Short answer: They don’t.

Migraines often feel random—but there’s usually a pattern underneath. It could be hidden in your neck movement, jaw tension, sleep cycles, or how your nervous system reacts to everyday stress.

🧠 Research shows that many migraine triggers stack up over time. Miss just one and it might feel like your migraine came out of the blue—but your body’s been warning you all along.

That’s why at Melbourne Headache Solutions, we don’t guess.
We assess everything—neck, jaw, posture, sleep, and more—so we can connect the dots others often miss.

They ate well.
Exercised regularly.
Stayed hydrated.
Did everything “right.

But the migraines didn’t stop.
Why? No one asked about their sleep.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we look beyond the basics. Sleep quality, posture, stress, jaw tension — they all matter. Sometimes, the missing piece isn’t what you’d expect.

✨ If migraines keep showing up no matter what you do, it’s time to dig deeper.

"You can’t outstretch, outmedicate, or out-eat bad sleep.

We’ve seen it time and time again — people doing everything right to recover from migraines or ongoing pain... but still not getting better.

The missing piece?
Sleep that isn’t doing its job.

When your body doesn’t fully rest, it doesn’t fully heal.
That’s why we look at the whole picture — including what’s happening overnight.

If you're stuck in a cycle of waking up sore, tired, or foggy — let's start asking the right questions.

Still dealing with neck pain or migraines that won’t let up?

The upper neck is often overlooked—but it can quietly trigger headaches and migraines for years. If it’s not moving well or is overly sensitive, it might be the real reason things keep coming back.

At Melbourne Headache Solutions, we look deeper. Our thorough assessments help uncover what’s actually causing your symptoms—so you’re not stuck treating the wrong thing.

Your Bloods Are Normal. But You're Still in Pain?

We hear this every week. Patients told their results are "fine"—yet they live in pain.

This Migraine Awareness Month, we're helping make the invisible visible. Because for so many living with migraine, the most frustrating part isn't just the pain—it's being told there's "nothing wrong."

Why? Because standard tests check for red flags, not root causes.

Bloods won't show brainstem sensitisation. Imaging won't capture sleep deprivation or stress overload. No test alone can explain a whole-body condition like migraine.

That's why we assess your neck mechanics, gut health, nervous system state, and hormonal rhythms together. We're not just looking for what's wrong. We're looking for what's missed.

The Turning Point Came After Everything Else Failed.

Years of appointments. Dozens of treatments. Nothing stuck.
This patient was at the edge of burnout.

Like many people living with migraine, they felt invisible—trapped in a cycle of pain that no one could see, and few truly understood.

But in their first visit at MHS, we found something everyone else had missed—restricted neck movement triggering brainstem irritation.

That wasn't the only piece.
Their gut was inflamed. Their sleep was broken. Their hydration habits were working against them.

When we addressed these in a unified, personalised plan, their symptoms began to fade—for the first time in years.

This Migraine Awareness Month, we're here to say: your pain is real. Your story matters.
And you deserve care that goes deeper than a scan.

This Isn't Just a Chat—It's Your Migraine Map.

What looks like a consultation is actually a deep dive into your migraine puzzle.
This Migraine Awareness Month, we're standing with those who feel unseen, unheard, or dismissed. The pain may be invisible—but that doesn't make it any less real.

At MHS, we don't guess—we assess. That means looking beyond symptoms and uncovering patterns in your neck mechanics, gut integrity, stress resilience, and sleep hygiene.

Because every migraine has a story—and you deserve one that's finally understood.
We put the puzzle together and create a clear map forward—one that reflects your unique biology.

"Your scans are normal."
It's something many migraine sufferers hear—only to walk out of the doctor's office still in pain.

This Migraine Awareness Month, we're highlighting what often goes unseen. Migraines are more than just headaches—they're an invisible but deeply disruptive condition that affects every part of life.
The truth? Scans don't assess the full picture. Migraines are a systems issue.

Brainstem sensitivity, gut inflammation, hormonal disruption, poor sleep, hydration, and nervous system overload often go unchecked.

But just because it's not visible, doesn't mean it isn't real.

At MHS, we don't stop at what the scans say.

We dig deeper—assessing your upper neck mechanics, stress load, hormonal rhythms, and even how your gut may be fuelling the fire.

Because understanding the root cause is what it takes to find answers that last.

As part of Migraine Awareness Month, we're sharing this to help more people get answers.

This is where so many answers begin. We test neck movement, joint integrity, and signs of brainstem irritation—things rarely assessed in standard clinics. But the neck is only one slice of the migraine puzzle.

We also explore your gut health, hormone balance, sleep quality, and hydration—all critical systems that influence how your brain processes pain. This layered approach is what turns temporary relief into real recovery.

This Migraine Awareness Month is the perfect time to check in with how you're really feeling.

Melbourne Headache Solutions (MHS) Comprehensive solutions to your headaches & migraines.

Most current treatments for headache and migraine sufferers are aimed at symptomatic relief, leaving sufferers frustrated and still in pain. But here at Melbourne Headache Solutions we not only address the cause but also the underlying disorder of headaches and migraines, so that we aim for long term results. Are you sick of treatment and drugs that simply mask the symptoms of your headache and migraine but never address the true cause of it? Most forms of manual therapy and all forms of migraine medication aim to treat the symptoms of headaches and migraines, rather than addressing the underlying cause, which leads to little or no change in your pain, or if the pain does change/go, the pain returns leaving you dissatisfied, frustrated and still in pain. Following the latest research here at MHS, we know that headaches and migraines are caused by sensitization of the brainstem and this can occur due to dysfunctions in the upper 3 cervical vertebra of your neck. ​ Many of you may have had your neck treated before, so how are we different? Our practitioners use a technique called the Watson Headache ® Approach. The diagnostic accuracy of the Watson Headache ® Approach is unparalleled. It can confirm if disorders in the upper neck are responsible for headache or migraine and determine the exact nature of the disorder as well as which spinal joints are involved. There is no guesswork and no cracking or manipulation. Its unique and powerful feature involves temporary reproduction and resolution (easing) of usual head pain. With our practitioners combined experience, we have successfully treated thousands of patients suffering with headaches and migraines, many of whom have been suffering for over 25 years. Whether you have had your headaches or migraines for weeks or decades, we can accurately assess whether your pain is coming from the upper 3 segments of your neck and if so provide effective long term resolution of your headaches or migraines. Here at Melbourne Headache Solutions we are dedicated to helping those with headaches and migraines find a better answer. To book an appointment call 9486 7543
