If you’ve been living with repeated headaches or migraines, you’ve probably tried rest, hydration, stretches, or even medication. Those can help short-term, but they rarely change the reason your nervous system keeps producing pain.
At Breakthrough Pain & Performance we work through a neurology-led lens to find the precise signals keeping your system on high alert. We assess how your eyes, inner-ear (vestibular) system, neck and jaw, breathing mechanics and pain receptors are communicating — then reset the faulty inputs so your brain no longer “protects” you with pain.
On your first visit we take a clear history, then run targeted assessments: oculomotor tests (saccades, smooth pursuit, convergence), vestibular checks (VOR/head impulse, balance under different head positions), cranial nerve screens, breathing and rib movement, and joint-position / proprioception via manual muscle testing. When we find a driver, we confirm it by re-testing the exact movement or situation it changed. You feel the difference immediately — not weeks later.
For headache and migraine cases we also build a picture of immune and lifestyle drivers — because for some people, lingering viral/immune stress or low recovery keeps sensitivity high. That’s why we’ll often ask you to complete a clinic intake and a deeper health questionnaire around your taster session; together they highlight the neurological and immunological stories behind your symptoms. We use that information to target treatment precisely and avoid guesswork.
“A local professional was living with weekly migraines and constant neck tightness. Their eye-tracking was over-working on the right side and the neck was compensating. After normalising the receptor inputs and adding a simple “eyes + breath” drill, they returned the next week reporting zero migraines, full neck movement and better sleep. Results like this are common when we address the driver, not just the symptom”
First visit: 60 minutes. Follow-ups: 45 minutes. We work progressively and stop if anything is uncomfortable. We’re not a substitute for urgent medical care; if red flags appear we refer you appropriately.
Common neurological drivers include eye-tracking strain, vestibular mismatch, breathing mechanics and neck/jaw inputs. Immune stress can also keep sensitivity high. We test each area and show which one changes your symptoms.
Many people feel a difference in their first session because we immediately re-test the movement or situation that hurt. Complex cases take longer with steady progress.
No. Most plans use 1–3 short drills that take seconds. Their job is to hold the change your treatment created, not exhaust you.
Yes. We progress gently within your tolerance and stop if anything is uncomfortable. If we see red flags, we refer you to the right service.
We change the inputs your brain uses to decide whether to create pain — eyes, inner ear, cranial nerves and pain receptors. When the inputs are better, protection eases and movement feels normal again.
