Cervicogenic Headaches

  • One sided or one side dominant headaches
  • Pain with pressing on the upper neck joints and/or surrounding muscles
  • Weakness in the deep neck muscles
  • Non-throbbing pain, usually begins in the neck

Pleasant venue, friendly and efficient staff. I had a problem with my leg and quite a complicated medical history but Sarah listened and understood what I was saying. The one session helped so much that I was back to normal very quickly and didn’t need a follow up appointment.

These new premises on rivulet road are a big improvement on the previous clinic, particularly in the treatment rooms. The clinic is easy to get to and there is ample parking. The treatment experience was up to the usual high standard expected.
