Headaches

Migraines, depending on the individual, can have varied and multiple triggers. This can vary from; chocolate, processed meats, hormonal changes etc. Often the cervical spine, although perhaps not the main trigger, when added to the mix can tip the central nervous system into migraine. Treating the upper cervical spine can lead to a significant reduction in incidence and severity of migraine, even when the cervical spine is not the most influential factor.

Colin attended the 3-day Watson Headache Institute level 1, foundation course and the 2-day level 2 consolidation course titled “The role of C1 – C3 Cervical Afferents in Primary Headache”. The courses were held on 9th, 10th & 11th July 2011 for level 1 and 4th and 5th February 2012 for level 2, in Sydney Australia and presented by Dean H. Watson, Australian Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist. For further information go to www.WatsonHeadacheInstitute.Com. The courses comprised 40 hours and were based on the Watson Headache® Approach, a protocol for the skilled assessment and management of the upper cervical (neck) spine in headache and migraine conditions. The Watson Headache® Approach is recognized as a scientifically researched method of examination and treatment. 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. Its unique and powerful feature involves temporary reproduction and resolution (easing) of usual head pain.
