Posture!
How we sit, stand, run and rest all influence our posture and overall ability to function. Irregular postures are caused by repetitive uneven loading throughout the spine and can often be attributed to tight musculature, fixated joints and poor muscle control. The aim of improving posture is to relieve joint and muscular tension and improve overall musculoskeletal function. Typically this is achieved through symptoms relief of pain as well as the implementation of proprioceptive and strengthening exercises!

- Wake up with a headache more than twice a week? Here's why Panadol isn't fixing it.
Tension headaches are one of the most overlooked conditions a chiropractor can see. Most people blame stress, screens, or dehydration. But for the majority, the real cause is something completely different — their neck.
Here's how it actually works:
The top two vertebrae of your spine (C1 and C2) sit just millimetres from cranial nerves that feed your skull, face, and the back of your head. When these joints get restricted — from poor posture, long hours at a desk, sleeping awkwardly, or carrying tension in your shoulders — they refer pain UP into your head.
That's why the pain often starts at the base of your skull, wraps around to your temples, or sits behind your eyes. It feels like a head problem. It isn't.
That's also why:
✓ Panadol gives short-term relief but the headache returns
✓ Massage helps but the pain comes back within days
✓ Sleeping more doesn't actually fix it
✓ Sunglasses, hydration, and reducing screens only partially help
The technical term for this is "cervicogenic headache" — a headache caused by dysfunction in the cervical (neck) joints. Research shows up to 47% of chronic daily headaches have a cervical component.
Common signs your headache is coming from your neck:
- Starts at the base of your skull and moves forward
- Worse after long hours at a desk or driving
- One-sided (often same side every time)
- Stiff or tender neck on the same side
- Worse with certain head positions
The fix isn't taking another painkiller. It's restoring proper movement in those upper neck joints — exactly what a chiropractic adjustment is designed to do.
If you've been on Panadol for months and the headaches keep coming back, the issue might not be where you think it is.
