Suboccipital headache is a common encounter in our clinic. This headache is particularly common amongst people with desk jobs.
The occipital region is full of delicate blood vessels, nerves and muscles. The suboccipital muscles serve an important role in anchoring our skull to our spine and they are responsible for fine muscle movements and stabilisation in the region.
Suboccipital headaches are mostly found in people with poor posture, which places a lot of pressure in the area, causing muscle spasm and irritating the nerves surrounding the area.
People with suboccipital headache usually experience:
• Pain, stiffness, ache at the base of the skull
• Pain radiating to the front and behind the eyes
• Nausea or dizziness
Chiropractic treatments can manage occipital headache in a drug-free and effective manner. Our chiropractor would focus on treating the root cause of the headache and neck pain. Treatments would usually involve joint manipulation/mobilisation, trigger point therapy, home stretches and kinesiotaping.
Our chiropractor, Dr Jackson Yee has a vast range of experience in managing muscular and joints disorders. With a particular passion for sports, Jackson has served as sport trainer at Jandakot Jets Football Club, Southern Lions Rugby Union Football Club, Fremantle Croatia Football Club and Lynwood United Football Club. Some services we offer are manipulative therapy, soft tissue therapy (dry needling/ acupuncture, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy), exercise therapy, nutritional advice, biomechanical and ergonomic education, kinesiotaping and bulk billed x-ray referrals (if required).
Some common conditions our chiropractor treats are low back pain, neck pain, headache, sporting injuries, postural issues, nerve entrapment, sciatica, jaw pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, elbow pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain and foot pain.
