If you are one of the millions of Australians who experience frequent headaches or debilitating migraines, you know how much they can interfere with work, family life, and daily routines. Migraine & Headache Awareness Week is an opportunity to better understand the impact of these conditions and how they affect daily life.
According to Headache Australia, approximately 4.9 million Australians are estimated to live with migraine, while up to 7 million experience tension-type headaches. These figures show just how common headaches are, and why awareness is so crucial in helping people feel supported.
Headaches Beyond the Workplace
Headaches and migraines can affect people at any stage of life. Children may notice them linked to school work or long hours on screens (something most parents can relate to in today’s digital world), while adults often find theirs linked to posture or changes in daily routines. Because triggers can vary so much, it’s important to look at factors such as sleep, hydration, posture, stress, movement, and the environment at work or home.
Dr Greg Goggin (Chiropractor) explains, “I often see young people, parents, and older adults who notice their headache or migraine patterns shift depending on how they use screens, how they sit, or when their routine is disrupted. Simple changes can sometimes make a real difference.”
How Chiropractic May Support People With Headaches
Chiropractic care focuses on spinal health, which for some people can be a vital part of understanding their headaches. Care may involve gentle spinal adjustments, ergonomic suggestions, and lifestyle advice.
