ABOUT
The Bendigo Headache Clinic is a dedicated clinic for the treatment of headaches, migraines, and concussion.
​
Whether you suffer from Tension-Type Headaches, Cluster Headaches, Migraines, or one of the many other types, research tells us you will have a sensitised lower brainstem.
​
This lower brainstem is enclosed by the top three vertebra of the neck, which means information from the neck could be contributing to the sensitisation and consequently your symptoms.
​
Chantelle is trained under the Watson Headache® Approach, which involves a thorough examination and treatment of the misbehavior of the upper cervical spine.
