About Kelly
A Patient-Centred Approach to Migraine and Headache Care
Dr Kelly Dulic is a registered osteopath with over six years of clinical experience and a special interest in migraine and headache disorders. She consults at Melbourne Headache Solutions Thornbury and Fitzroy North.
Kelly understands that recurrent or persistent headaches can affect work, family life, sleep, mood and daily confidence. Her professional interest in migraine care is shaped by clinical experience and by personal insight, having supported her husband through chronic migraines. She frequently sees patients who describe having “migraines that leave them exhausted for days,” “constant tension in the jaw and temples,” or “headaches that make it hard to focus at work.”
Like all our practitioners, Kelly uses the Melbourne Migraine Protocol — a structured assessment framework designed to identify your unique migraine and headache drivers. Rather than applying a generic treatment, Kelly uses the RESET framework (Regulate, Eliminate, Stabilise, Energise, Thrive) to map out exactly what is triggering your symptoms and what is preventing recovery.
Her approach begins with this structured assessment, discussing symptom history, headache patterns, triggers, neck and movement factors, posture and lifestyle considerations where relevant. From there, Kelly develops an individualised management plan focused on reducing symptom burden, improving overall brain health, and supporting longer-term self-management.
Kelly values clear communication and works collaboratively with patients so they feel informed, supported and involved in treatment decisions regarding their headache and migraine care.
