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.

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.

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.

"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.

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
