I can’t recommend the Headache Clinic enough. I was suffering frequent, debilitating headaches and had tried lots of different treatments and medications over many years with minimal success. After only a few weeks, I’m almost completely medication-free and have seen a huge reduction in the severity and frequency of my headaches already. The treatment has been life-changing for me. A huge thank you to Steph who is not only an amazing practitioner but so supportive, kind and encouraging.

I found the Headache Clinic after having a migraine for a month, with no help from doctors. Realizing my neck was the problem, doing the stretches and appointments required, I have finally got my life back. I now have more understanding, support and the techniques have worked well.
Kim Gruebner
Hugely grateful for the expertise of the Headache Clinic staff. The techniques they use are the first I've come across in 40 years that provide a solution that is medication-free and can actually stop a migraine in it's tracks. Its been amazing to get my life back!

If you are like me and you've tried everything and you're wondering whether it's worth investing time, energy and resources at the Headache Clinic, I'd say, Do it!
Jan O'Connor-Brown
The headache clinic has been an excellent answer to pain relief from an excruciatingly painful facial nerve conduction called Trigeminal Neuralgia. This condition means at times I was unable to eat, drink, smile, brush my teeth, or touch my face without terrible pain in my teeth, cheek or eye.
After my first appointment ,with some simple neck exercises, my pain reduced and kept decreasing until the Trigeminal Neuralgia seems to be in remission, with only the slightest sensation occasionally to remind me that it is there. It is such a relief to live without pain
