Headaches are not normal – read advice from one of Portsmouth’s leading chiropractors
Many people accept headaches as just another part of everyday life, but the truth is that frequent or recurring headaches are not something you should simply put up with.
For the past 20 years, Peter Coote and the team at Active Health Chiropractic Clinic have been helping people across Portsmouth move better, feel healthier, and enjoy a better quality of life.
Here, Peter explains how something as seemingly simple as a headache need not be a part of everyday life.
He says: “While headaches can have many different causes, they are often linked to stiffness, tension, and restricted movement in the neck, upper back, and jaw. These areas can place stress on the muscles and joints, which may contribute to headache pain and discomfort.
“Chiropractic care may help reduce this stiffness by improving joint mobility, easing muscle tension, and addressing underlying mechanical issues. For many people, this can lead to a reduction in both the frequency and intensity of headaches, allowing them to enjoy daily life with greater comfort and confidence.”
At Active Health Chiropractic Clinic, experienced practitioners carry out a thorough assessment to identify the possible cause of headaches before creating a personalised treatment plan. Alongside hands-on chiropractic care, they can also provide practical advice on posture, lifestyle, exercise, and nutrition to support your long-term health and wellbeing.

Pride in the practice

Reaching the two-decade milestone is a source of immense pride and gratitude, reflecting the trust thousands of local patients have placed in the clinic over the last 20 years.
Peter says: “It is humbling to feel we have spent the last 20 years maintaining and improving the health and wellbeing of so many people.”
Peter adds that people should not ignore pain. “I think this happens as people continually hope problems will just go away on their own or that they feel they have exhausted all the avenues available to them. I believe this is not always the case and many, many people still have other approaches available to them to help improve their lives by effectively managing the pains they suffer with.”
The clinic welcomes patients from every walk of life, from children to those aged 100, including professional athletes, tradespeople, office workers, and retirees. While every patient is different, spinal conditions and their related symptoms remain the most common reasons people seek treatment.
Understanding that many first-time patients feel nervous, Active Health Chiropractic Clinic focuses on making the process as reassuring as possible. Every new patient receives a comprehensive assessment, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and X-rays where clinically appropriate. Findings are then explained in straightforward language, with a personalised treatment plan if chiropractic care is suitable. If it isn't, patients are advised on the most appropriate next steps.
Peter encourages anyone living with pain for more than a week or two not to ignore it. Even people who have struggled with longstanding problems for years can often experience meaningful improvements with the right care, although chronic conditions may require more time and treatment.
