Headaches that start at your neck?
If your headaches come with a stiff neck and tight shoulders, there's a good chance they start in your neck.
Check the common signsDoes any of this sound like you?
A lot of people put up with these for months, hoping it goes away on its own. If you nodded at two or more, it's worth getting checked.
- 01Pain starting at the base of the skull
- 02A band of pressure around the head
- 03Headaches after long screen time
- 04Stiff neck on headache days
- 05Tight shoulders and upper back
- 06Reaching for painkillers several times a week
So why does it keep coming back?
Painkillers and massage help for a few days. But if whatever is causing it doesn't change, the pain usually returns. For most people it's a mix of these.
Neck joint stiffness
Irritated upper neck joints can refer pain into the head (cervicogenic headache).
Muscle tension
Tight neck and shoulder muscles are a common driver of tension headaches.
Screen posture
A forward head position strains the muscles at the base of the skull.
Stress and poor sleep
Both raise muscle tension and lower your pain threshold.
What we do differently
Many of our patients tried massage, painkillers or a few sessions somewhere else before coming to us. This is what changes when you see us.
We look for the cause

At BP ChiroBefore any treatment we take your full history and do four checks: muscles and joints, nerves, spine and orthopedic tests.

At BP ChiroOur chiropractors get your joints moving properly. Our physios strengthen the muscles around them. No need to go to two clinics.
Treatment depends on you

At BP ChiroBased on what we find, we might use adjustment, Activator, dry needling, shockwave or spinal decompression.

Questions people often ask
Not sure about something? WhatsApp us and one of our practitioners will get back to you.
Book my first visitWhich headaches can a chiropractor help with?
Tension-type and neck-related headaches are the ones most often seen. Sudden, severe or unusual headaches need a doctor first.
Do you treat migraine?
We can assess whether neck tension is a trigger. Migraine diagnosis and medication stay with your doctor.
Will I still need painkillers?
That is between you and your doctor. Many patients track their headache days so progress is clear.
How much is the first visit?
The 8-in-1 First Trial is RM279, 50% off a total value of RM560++. It includes the full assessment and your first treatment.
Who will I see?
A Doctor of Chiropractic, usually working together with a physiotherapist. Meet them on the Our Clinicians page.
Is an adjustment painful?
Adjustments are done by hand and are non-invasive. For children and seniors we use Activator therapy, a gentler instrument-assisted option.
When should I see a doctor first?
See a medical doctor or go to emergency first if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, weakness that is getting worse, pain after a fall or accident, fever or unexplained weight loss, or a sudden severe headache. If our assessment finds anything that needs medical tests, we refer you.
