Headache 🧠 Migraine 🧠 Concussion 🧠 Vertigo

Auckland - Ponsonby & Campbells Bay, Hamilton Wellington Nelson Christchurch Wanaka Dunedin Invercargill The Headache Clinic is the first dedicated headache clinic of it's kind in New Zealand. Our team come to work everyday relentless in their quest to help their patients take control of their Headache and Migraine. We are passionate and invested in making our patients lives better. Giving them the freedom to spend quality time with their family, socialise with friends and achieve goals that they never thought possible. We stay up to date with the latest research ensuring our patient treatment plans and the techniques that we use are at the cutting edge, to get our patients achieving a significant improvement in their symptoms within a short few weeks. The understanding regarding the cause of headaches and migraines has significantly changed in the past 10 years. The latest research shows that headache and migraine sufferers have a sensitised lower brainstem (trigemini-cervical nucleus). The top 3 structures of the neck can be a significant contributor to brainstem sensitivity as noxious information from this area enters directly into the brainstem. Our team of consultants work exclusively in the management of headache, migraine and concussion. They use a targeted technique to isolate and identify dysfunction within the upper cervical spine. They will then work with our patients to correct this dysfunction and improve stability within the cervical spine in order to provide long-term results. Over 90% of our patients experience a significant improvement in their symptoms with our treatment. We get exceptional results and thrive on seeing our patients succeed.

🧊Lie on your back
🧊Place an ice pack in the hollow of your neck
🧊Stay there for 10–15 minutes

Your mental health matters, especially if you ever face a concussion.
Did you know:
🧠In New Zealand, on average 36,000 kiwis sustain a traumatic brain injury (most of these are concussion) every year.
🧠Over 65% of people with concussion report symptoms of depression or anxiety after injury.

If you ignore your mental state now, you seriously risk dragging out your recovery later.
Colum’s message to our blokes is simple: take care of your mental health before you need it and if you do sustain a concussion injury seek out a trained healthcare provider as early as possible for the best outcome.

👉At The Headache Clinic, we understand where you’re coming from. We’re not just about treating headaches or concussions, we care about you as a whole. Reach out. Speak to one of our experts. Let’s get your brain and your wellbeing back on track - together.

💊While meds might give short-term relief, overusing them can cause rebound headaches that are even harder to treat.

🧠If you’re relying on painkillers often, it’s time to look deeper. The real solution starts with treating the root cause, not just masking the pain.

It's Mental Health Awareness week in Aotearoa, and we’re speaking up for those who are in pain but stay quiet, those who feel misunderstood, and those who are still fighting for proper care.

Living with migraine can take more than just your energy. It can chip away at your mental health, relationships, and confidence.
Over 60% of migraine sufferers say their condition affects their mental health, and many feel isolated, misunderstood, and stuck in a cycle of burnout.

If you’re someone living with a disabling neurological condition, you deserve support, treatment, and empathy. You’re not weak. You’re not imagining it. You are living with a disabling neurological condition, and you are not alone.

The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone. Our highly skilled clinicians are here to help.

A concussion is more than a physical injury, it can have a significant impact on your mental health.
Changes in mood, sleep, concentration, and motivation are common as the brain works to recover.

🧠When the areas of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and stress response are affected, it’s no surprise many people experience anxiety, low mood, or irritability after a head injury.

At The Headache Clinic, we focus on addressing the underlying dysfunction so your brain can heal, helping you get back to feeling like yourself again.

Studies show that 45% of people with chronic headache may be deficient in Vitamin D!

You can get Vitamin D from safe sun exposure, by eating certain foods (like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified foods), or by taking supplements. The best approach depends on your diet, location, and skin type, so talk to a healthcare provider to determine the right strategy for you!
