Help for neck pain and headaches in Victoria
A stiff, sore neck often comes with headaches, and each can make the other worse. Many headaches actually start in the joints and muscles of your neck and upper back. Our chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists on Fort St treat both, so you can turn your head, sleep and focus without pain.

Neck pain and headache FAQs
Can a chiropractor or physio help with headaches?
Yes, especially tension headaches and headaches that start in the neck. Your practitioner will check whether your neck is involved at your first visit.
Is it safe to have my neck adjusted?
Neck adjustments are generally safe when done by a trained chiropractor after a full assessment. If you’d rather not be adjusted, we have gentle low-force and hands-on alternatives.
I was in a car accident. Can you help?
Yes. Bring your ICBC claim number and we bill ICBC directly. You don’t need a referral.
How can I stop my neck pain from coming back?
Regular movement breaks, a well-set-up desk and a few simple strengthening exercises help most people. We’ll build a plan for you.
