Headache and Migraine Treatment and the ?Watson Headache Approach?

Further to the article in ‘Frontline’ and in reference to the approach I have developed it is important to clarify that whilst my approach does include a series of techniques which restore movement and maintain natural posture of the upper cervical spine, and whilst they are powerful, they are a small part of what I have developed.

My clinical experience of over 13000 hours with headache and migraine sufferers has demonstrated that neck disorders, as the cause of sensitisation, are significantly underestimated in migraine, tension and cluster headache, menstrual migraine …. sufferers.

There are many ways to treating headache and migraine. My approach is a powerful treatment tool if chosen by Practitioners. What I am primarily passionate about is that many of you are suffering unnecessarily because your necks have not been examined comprehensively and this is the main thrust of my approach.

It is about identifying whether your neck is the source of your headache or migraine before you commence treatment.

How much longer are we to accept the explanation that … “whilst we don’t know where migraine comes from it can’t come from neck disorders” … it is irresponsible, after other investigations have ruled out other causes, for the neck not to be examined. Information from the neck is one of four systems that has the potential to potential to sensitise the brainstem – the feature (sensitisation) that is evident in the common forms of headache and migraine.

One of the participants of the trial, Sonja Lord, reported dramatic results describing “I feel like I’ve had a spring clean in my head. Colours are really vibrant.” Ms Lord had had years of medication and dietary advice without success. This is a story I hear all too often – if other approaches have failed and your neck has not been examined for relevant disorders (unlike Sonja’s), then your painful journey may continue when it need not.
