How we treat headaches and migraines in Chiswick
Your plan typically draws on acupuncture — which NICE recognises for migraine prevention — with manual therapy for the neck and shoulder drivers and stress-regulation therapies for the trigger side. Where hormones are part of the pattern, screening helps map it against your diary. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.
A sudden thunderclap headache, new neurological symptoms, vision changes, or a significant change in your headache pattern — seek urgent medical care.
