Tension Headaches: Chiropractic Care for Everyday Head Pain in Newcastle NSW
Tension headaches are the most common type of headache, but that doesn’t mean they’re harmless or normal. If you’re experiencing regular headaches that feel like a band tightening around your head—or aching that starts in the back of your neck and spreads forward—you may be dealing with tension-type headaches. At Be Amazing Chiropractic, we help patients across Newcastle, including Mayfield, Waratah, and Islington, find lasting relief from tension headaches using chiropractic care and Quantum Neurology.
What Is a Tension Headache?
Tension headaches (sometimes called stress headaches or muscle contraction headaches) typically produce mild to moderate pain on both sides of the head. While not as intense as migraines, they can be persistent, frequent, and interfere with your ability to focus, work, or sleep.
Common symptoms include:
Dull, aching head pain (often across the forehead or sides of the head)
Sensation of pressure or tightness around the head
Tenderness in the neck, shoulders, and scalp
Muscle tightness in the upper back or jaw
Some patients describe their tension headaches as starting in the neck or base of the skull and radiating forward to the temples or eyes.
What Causes Tension Headaches?
The exact cause can vary, but tension headaches are commonly triggered by:
Poor posture or long hours at a desk
Emotional stress or anxiety
Clenching or grinding teeth (especially during sleep)
Neck and shoulder muscle tension
Spinal misalignment or joint restriction
Eyestrain or fatigue
When the cervical spine (neck) is not functioning properly, it can place ongoing strain on the muscles and nerves that contribute to tension headaches.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Tension Headaches
Chiropractors are trained to assess the structure and function of the spine and its relationship to the nervous system. At Be Amazing Chiropractic, we focus on correcting the underlying issues contributing to your headaches.
Our approach can:
Relieve muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
Restore normal movement and alignment in the spine
Improve posture and ergonomics
Reduce the frequency and severity of headaches
Promote better blood flow and nerve communication
Tension headaches often respond quickly to specific chiropractic adjustments and posture retraining.
Quantum Neurology for Tension Headaches
Tension headaches aren’t just about tight muscles—they often involve neurological stress. Quantum Neurology is a powerful system we use to retrain and rebalance the nervous system.
Using light therapy, nerve-specific muscle testing, and brain-body coordination exercises, we can:
Identify weak neurological pathways
Rebuild efficient communication between the brain and body
Improve resilience to stress and tension triggers
Patients often find that once their nervous system is more balanced, their daily headaches dramatically reduce.
