Welcome Headache Sufferers and Colleagues…

Diagnosis & Treatment

The Headache Clinic was established in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1991.

Staff at The Headache Clinic have undertaken and are committed to a 12 month formal and intensive training program in the assessment and management of headache and migraine. This along with comprehensive clinical experience provides an unparalleled option for those headache and migraine sufferers in whom relevant cervicogenic (neck-related) dysfunction has been identified … whilst technical expertise can be taught, success depends on how it is used – there is no substitute for experience.

The Directory & Education

Diagnosis is difficult and cannot be made from the symptoms of headache and migraine alone because the symptoms of many different types of headache overlap. However the challenge of determining if disorders of the upper neck are involved has largely been overcome. Application of techniques I have developed form the basis of courses I present for physiotherapists and other interested healthcare professionals in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and Germany. This approach in Europe and the United Kingdom has become known as the 'Watson Headache Approach'. Practitioners of headacheandmigraine.com have completed not only the basic two-day course but after at least six months of experience using the techniques also a one-day advanced course.
