Melbourne Headache Centre

I highly recommend Dylan at Melbourne Headache Centre! I have had vestibular migraines for many years. After having tried multiple physio's, pilates, neurologists, and medications, I went to this clinic and finally have had success! In Feb/March 2023 (prior to treatment) I was having daily migraines (balance disturbance, nausea and dissociation). After treatment I have had approx.only 3 minor migraines over 4 months. I would highly recommend this clinic and have recently sent my mum there who has also had great results.:)

Hi was getting daily headaches, regular treatment for a tight neck and overall neck discomfort. I went and saw Dyland and MHC and over the course of the treatment I saw consideration improvement and dont have headaches daily anymore. Thanks MHC you did a great job

I will be forever grateful to Dylan - he explained the process thoroughly and at no point I felt under pressure to continue with the treatment. He was very clear that if the treatment didn't work, then there would be no point in persevering with it.
I feel now much better and the maintenance exercises are now part of my daily routine.

I've suffered for ten years with cervicogenic headache and migraine. Tried EVERYTHING. Spent sooo much money on chiro, osteo, myo, neurologists. I was resigned to this beig my lot- headaches up to 4 times a week and I was miserable. I found The Melb Headache Clinic during a desperate fit of Googling and it has changed my life. I saw Dylan for six sessions and it's been remarkable how my quality of life has improved. I have had maybe 4 headaches in over 6 months and I could clearly link them to slacking off with the exercises I was taught. Highly recommend if headaches are making your life challenging or you're at your wit's end like I was!

I had a great experience at this multidisciplinary clinic. My migraines have definitely reduced in severity and frequency which is a huge win after trying many other interventions. The process took time and wasn’t always comfortable but worth it for me in the end. Thanks, Dylan!

Cannot recommend this clinic enough! Roger has truly saved my life - I have experienced daily migraines since I was 16 and had barely any quality of life. Every type of medication failed on me and I thought I was out of options, until I decided to give this clinic a go. I am so grateful I did, as Roger has helped me so much in just a short amount of time - I am now able to work, travel and live my life while doing simple stretches that help keep migraines away. Thank you so much Roger!

I was impressed and pleased to have my headache reviewed and treated in a sound neurological and analytical way rather than a simple assumption of neck tension which was simply treated with a massage. Roger's treatment largely resolved my issues in an ongoing way without the need for constant repeated treatments. I doubt I will need to see Roger again but if I have any other issues he will be the first practitioner I think of.

After months of unpredictable stabbing, crushing, blinding headaches - pull over and stop driving kind of headaches, and a range of diagnoses from the ED, and the Dr, and the other Dr, and meds that weren't working, I was recommended to try here. They've resolved the headaches, and with a simple exercise morning and night (and sure, sometimes, I forget, but that's ok) the headaches are gone. Simple treatment, effective, thank you Dylan!

After 5 years of attempting to find relief for my cervicogenic migraines through myotherapy and chiropractic interventions, I am finally at a place where my migraines are no longer affecting my life! I've been under the care of Dylan for a few months now and he is absolutely fantastic. He explained my condition in a way that was very thorough yet easy for me to follow and was very informative and gentle during treatment but in a way I knew it was working. I particularly love at the clinic the patients are encouraged to continue maintenance at home with gentle exercises so it is much more sustainable than visiting a chiropractor regularly. Prior to the initial assessment, I received a phone call from the clinic and the lovely lady was very helpful and gave me a detailed rundown of the program (what is involved/frequency/cost) and booked all the appointments for me in advance so it was all stress free! I can't recommend Melbourne Headache Centre and Dylan enough for helping me to function like I did prior to developing migraines! Thank you!

I have been working with Zoe from the Melbourne headache centre to treat my vestibular migraines. The dizziness has gone completely and I am looking forward to long term self management. Zoe is so empathetic and explains everything to you, helping you to feel reassured throughout the process. The treatment method is so simple and not invasive at all. The exercises are easy to follow and can be done anywhere. I’m so happy I stumbled across the Watson approach as it has improved my life significantly!

It's hard to believe that after so many years of constant hospital admissions my daughter is doing well for any cyclic vomiting patient I honestly can't find the words to describe the difference that Rogers treatment has made to my daughters quality of life when we found Melbourne headache centre we were just at the end of the road tired sad and exhausted they really could not even get drips in any more but this treatment has made all the difference it's been a massive blessing and I thank God everyday if you have any thing related to vomiting I believe that this could help you

I can't thank Roger O'Toole and the Melbourne Headache Centre enough. Having suffered from regular migraines and headaches almost daily for over ten years, I noticed a difference even after the first treatment. Everything was explained in easy to understand terms and although the treatment seemed simple (and non intrusive), its effects have been incredible. No more headaches or migraines but also no more brain fog either. I had tried the Watson approach with others but had no success. I'm so glad I didn't give up and decided to give it one last try by seeing Roger who now, in my mind and experience, is the leader in this treatment. Thank you so much for changing my life!

An extremely helpful and mild approach which has had profound positive effects on the frequency and severity of my vestibular migraines, thank you Roger.

Dylan at Melbourne Headache Centre changed my life! I have suffered from migraines since I was a child, but they became worse in my mid 20s and unbearable over the past 3 years. I constantly had a low level headache and 4 days a week would have a migraine. Dizziness, nausea, brain fog, headache - the works. I couldn't even lift a dinner plate with my left hand without triggering a migraine. It greatly affected my work, home life, mental health and relationships. I'm 5 weeks post my initial session and I haven't had a headache (let alone a migraine!) since my 4th session. I have my life back! All my sensitivities have gone, including my IBS (which I didn't even know was a symptom of my migraine). It wasnt a linear journey, but it was 100% worth every cent and I would recommend it to anyone who is suffering with migraine the way I was! Thank you Dylan and MHC, I will be forever grateful!

This place literally changed my life. From constant daily headaches to none. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A tremendously helpful treatment. After 30 years of trying to find an answer I finally got what I was looking for at Melbourne Headache Centre. The treatment is not at all painful and asks very little of the patient.
The information about headaches and how the brain works was informative and explained to me in a way I could understand how my headaches were occurring.
I no longer need migraine preventative medication and can clearly identify the differences between headaches (if they even occur) and how I can effectively treat them when needed.
Really impressed with the result.

Fantasic result, this is the most advanced treatment, now resolving years of my ongoing migraine. Im so pleased with the outcome.
The staff are fantastic, very knowledgeable and supportive. Excellent value for money.

Have recently completed a series of appointments with Dylan. From the outset, full and comprehensive explanations were provided of what to expect, what I needed to do and how the process worked. He was very frank in explaining that this isn't an instant fix but it does take several appointments to fully treat the core issue. This is fair enough, after all, I wouldn't have made the appointment if I only ever got a few headaches.

Dylan's professionalism never wavered. He explained complex medical concepts in clear/layman terms to give me an understand of the cause of headaches/migraines and provide full transparency as to what he was working on.

Any homework provided was accompanied by clear written instructions and contact information provided to ask questions during the week if needed.
There has absolutely been a noticeable change in my headaches (or dare I say, lack thereof).
I was prepositioned that there would may be quarterly check-ins but was told today 'you probably don't need our help actually.come back when you need it'.
This honesty was refreshing.

Important note, if you're attending a headache specialist, it's probably because headaches are significantly impacting your life. I viewed this as an investment into an improved life. This shouldn't be viewed as a quick fix. It's a process that has a cost.like any medical profession. Worth every dollar spent!

Thanks Dylan!

My daughter was missing a lot of school due to weekly/fortnightly migraines from year 7 to start of year 9. Much of it was stress influenced, sport and partly diet as well but she missed too much education and our home life was pushed to the brink. We have worked on those since, but what made that achievable in the first place was the fast pain relief achieved by Roger. We had regular sessions initially to check how well the treatment held and then was adjusted accordingly. Now, we see him only when required but I think it has been over 12 months. THANK YOU! Our family has our lives back now and my daughter is finally thriving.

I've had migraines after every run for the past 3 years. After a handfull of visits I'm now up to 7 runs migraine free. The service is fantastic and friendly. Dylan had me sorted in no time and told me exactly what he was doing and why. It really helped me understand how to prevent migraines in the future. I highly recommend if you are having issues with migraines.
