Headache and Migraine

They take over your day. Sometimes your week. Sometimes your life.

Headaches are one of the most common neurological complaints worldwide, with migraines affecting over 10 million people in the UK alone.

They’re often brushed off as "just stress," dehydration or hormones.

But when headaches become persistent, severe, or start to control your life, it’s a sign something deeper might be going on.

If you’ve tried medications, lifestyle changes, or seen specialists, and you still find yourself waiting for the next one to hit—it’s time to ask a different question:

What’s really triggering them?

Common headache and migraine triggers include:

Structural tension through the neck, shoulders, or cranium
Misalignment in the cervical spine
Nervous system irritation
Hormonal or dietary changes
Visual strain or sleep disruption
Previous head or neck trauma

In many cases, the true source is the neck—especially if you also feel stiffness, tension, or reduced movement in your upper spine.

So what can you do?

Short-term fixes like painkillers or rest might help in the moment. But if you’re looking for lasting change, you need to address the source; not just the symptoms.

At The Backstory, we take a structural approach to correcting the underlying cause, helping reduce the cycle of tension and nervous system irritation that keeps triggering headaches.

Trade in painkillers, waiting games, and lost days, for clarity, calm, and a body that isn’t stuck in a loop of tension and compensation.
