CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT OF HEADACHES

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT OF HEADACHES

Headaches are very common. The vast majority are not dangerous although they are often painful and disruptive to daily life. Headaches can affect every part of your life whether it is your ability to concentrate at work, take part in your hobbies or how you get on with your family and friends. If you live with headaches regularly your idea of 'normal' can become skewed. It may be common, but it is not normal to have headaches daily or several times a week and if you do then you should seek advice.

Chiropractors can help with headaches that are caused by a problem with the joints and muscles in the neck. This type of headache is known as a cervicogenic headache. If there is a problem with the way joints or muscles of your neck are moving, a chiropractor can improve the function of these joints which may help your headaches to improve. If you also have dizziness, vertigo or light-headedness then we can use our neurological physical examination to assess and rule-out other causes of your headaches.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT?

Chiropractic care involves adjustments to the spine and joints of the body as well as soft tissue therapy to the surrounding muscles. We can also use amazing high-tech devices like Class iii laser therapy and Shockwave which offers pain-free relief and faster tissue healing.

Your treatment plan will also include self-care advice and exercises to help treat your problem and to try and help prevent it from recurring.

After your first appointment you will have the cause of your issues and the solution explained to you simply and a tailor-made plan will be agreed with you. We don't believe in generic treatments to fit all. You are the only you, so we design your plan, just for you!

If you're in severe pain, then you should seek advice quickly. I also suggest if you have had the problem for more than three weeks you should get your back pain assessed too as it is often related to migraine and headaches. Therefore, our Chiropractors are most suited to assessing and treating your pain.

If you have tried self-help advice and your back is not getting better, now is a good time to consult a professional. Our Chiropractors are always very happy to talk to you before you book an appointment to answer any questions that you may have.
