Headache & Migraine
|
|
Headaches are very common, and there are many different types and causes; people
often suffer from more than one type.
|
|
Even more debilitating are migraines - severe headaches which can last for several
days, and may also be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, irritability, and vision
disturbances. Some forms of migraine appear to stem from nerve stress in the vertebrae
of the neck or may, again, be triggered by muscle tension.

Your chiropractor is trained to diagnose the cause of your
headache, and treat you accordingly, or refer you elsewhere
if appropriate. Treatment involves specific adjustments,
particularly to the neck and upper back, and soft tissue massage. This may also reduce the frequency or severity of some
forms of migraine and allows the body to return to normal function and bring lasting
relief. You may also be given an appropriate rehabilitation and maintenance plan to
prevent a recurrence of the problem.
