Headache / Migraine
Tension headache is a very common type of headache.These headaches usually develop due to stress and often involve the entire head, neck and shoulders. Chiropractic may help to relieve the tightness in your neck muscles resulting in a reduced frequency of headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches are usually the result of an injury or repetitive strain to the neck, causing dull or aching pains at the base of the skull or either side of the head. Chiropractors commonly treat these types of headache ensuring your spinal vertebrae are moving correctly and eliminating nerve interference.
Migraine is a severe form of headache. It is usually one sided with a throbbing nature and is often accompanied by nausea, an increased sensitivity to light and noise and visual disturbances. They can last from hours to even days. Chiropractic can help identify if your spine is a contributory factor to your headache and help reduce stresses on the muscles, joints and nerves which may be causing the problem.
Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints, particularly the spine, and their effects on the nervous system.
