Head Conditions

Head Conditions

Headaches are among the most common head conditions that a chiropractor can care for. It is now recognised that most headaches originate with the muscles, joints and other structures in the neck and shoulders. When aggravated, they cause pain to travel to the head; the result is a headache. Research shows that chiropractic treatment is effective in reducing the frequency, duration and intensity of headaches.

Chiropractors can diagnose the type of headache you have and determine an appropriate pain relief treatment. Pain relief treatments may include chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapeutic modalities, such as soft tissue therapy, such as neuromuscular therapy. Remember that in rare cases, headaches may be a sign of something more serious, so it’s important to have your headache diagnosed. Whether you’ve just started experiencing head pain or it’s been affecting you for some time, see your chiropractor.
