Headache Care in Surrey
Headaches can be frustrating, distracting, and exhausting. If you deal with recurring head pain, neck stiffness, or pressure that builds throughout the day, your posture, spinal motion, and nervous system may be part of the picture. Our team at Total Care Health focuses on understanding what is driving your headaches so we can build a plan that supports long-term change, not just short-term relief.
Common Headache Patterns We See
Different headache patterns can point to different contributing factors. During your visit, we look at how your head, neck, and upper back are working together.
Tension headaches often relate to muscle tension, stress, and long hours at a desk or screen.
Cervicogenic headaches usually start in the neck. They can be connected to joint restriction, posture strain, or previous injuries.
Post-accident headaches can show up after a car accident or fall, sometimes days or weeks later.

Signs Your Neck Or Upper Back May Be Involved
- Neck stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- Head pain linked to posture, screen time, or stress
- Headaches that flare after an injury
What We Look at During Your Assessment
We take a structured approach that may include posture and movement checks, joint mobility testing in the neck and upper back, screening for muscle tension and nerve irritation, and a review of work habits, activity levels, and injury history.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic care can support healthier spinal motion, ease mechanical irritation, and reduce tension patterns that may contribute to headaches. Your plan may include gentle adjustments, mobility work, and home guidance to support posture and daily habits.
“Headaches are rarely random. When we look closely at posture, movement, and stress patterns, we often find clear opportunities to help the body function better,” says Surrey chiropractor Dr. Steven Basra.
Extra Support When It Makes Sense
Because headaches rarely have a single cause, your care plan may also include:
- Massage therapy for muscle tension
- Physiotherapy for posture and stability
- Acupuncture for chronic tightness
- Shockwave therapy for soft tissue involvement
If your headaches began after a motor vehicle accident, care may be eligible under ICBC. Our team can discuss the process and direct billing options.
