Headaches

All too commonly perceived as ‘normal’, headaches have become a part of every day life for a lot of people. Like back pain, there are many causes and presentations of headaches. For example, a muzzy feeling and bandlike compression across the forehead are typical symptoms that are experienced with tension headaches. Migraines however, are more intense and affect one side of the head and/or face; they are sometimes forewarned by early signs such as aura or sickness/nausea.

In clinic, we love to see how beneficial chiropractic and hands on treatments have proved to be in helping many headache sufferers. Our chiropractors perform a series of neurological and musculoskeletal examination tests to determine the cause of headache before deciding whether it is appropriate to treat. Very often there are various factors including neck and spinal dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, stress and nutritional deficiencies which contribute to why headaches manifest. By directly working on spinal joint restrictions and muscles, as well as connected areas such as the jaw if necessary, it is possible to reduce and release tension caused by such factors. This calms the body and minimises the chance of a headache building, which often to our client’s surprise means they no longer have the need to reach for painkillers every day!
