Headaches 🤯

Headaches are a very complex issue and triggers can vary from hormone levels and genetic predisposition to muscular tension and joint dysfunction.

As Chiropractors & Physiotherapists we most commonly see tension-type and cervicogenic headaches that are affected by postural factors, spinal alignment and tension within the neck, shoulder, and jaw musculature.

🟠 How can we help with headaches?
We initially assess the musculoskeletal system and nervous system and also consider lifestyle and postural factors. Often there are many factors causing your headache including work related postures, muscular tension, and joint restriction. The aim of our treatment is to restore joint movement, decrease muscular tension and improve postural dysfunction whilst also advising you on areas of your lifestyle that may be affecting your headaches.

🟠 What can you do in everyday life to manage/avoid headaches?

💤 Sleep position – We spend a third of our lives sleeping and so sleep position is vital for spinal health. If you are waking up with stiffness in the neck and shoulder region then consider changing your pillows or trying to sleep on your back. If you choose to sleep on your side always ensure your spine is in a neutral position and if you are prone to twisting onto your front, try a pillow between your knees to prevent this.

💦 STAY HYDRATED! – Dehydration is a common cause of headache so ensure you are drinking plenty.

🖥 Screen time – If you work in an office-based job take time to set up your workspace so that your screen is at eye level and your chair offers you suitable support – and don’t forget to take breaks – movement is key!

💪🏼 Consider manual therapy – Therapies to improve your range of motion and to reduce muscular tension may help to reduce your symptoms.

😬 Think about your jaw – For those who clench their jaw or grind their teeth at night, the muscles and joints of the jaw can become dysfunctional and often addressing this can help to reduce headache symptoms.

Chiropractic care for your newborn & toddler

Chiropractic treatment is safe and effective for newborn babies and children. Often we see Mums and their newborns who have perhaps had traumatic or assisted births, or babies who have been restricted in utero. This can sometimes lead to muscle tension, joint restriction and discomfort which can present as an unsettled baby who is uncomfortable lying on their back or who has a head preference, choosing to turn their head to one side more than the other (sometimes leading to a asymmetrical flat head - plagiocephaly).

These areas of tension can also affect their ability to breastfeed if the newborn struggles to find a comfortable position or has tension around the neck and jaw musculature affecting their suck/swallow.

Of-course, there are many different causes of unsettled babies who are struggling to feed that may not be as a result of the musculoskeletal system. However, a chiropractic assessment may be of benefit if you believe your baby may be uncomfortable or imbalanced.

Why do pregnant women see Chiropractors?

1. For a general assessment - many pregnant patients visit us without any pain at all but simply to ensure they have the best possible function in preparation for the rest of their pregnancy, labour and post-partum! Having a new born is hard work, you want your body to be functioning at its best right?! 💪🏼

2. To manage pregnancy-related discomfort or dysfunction.

Common complaints include:
👉🏼 Postural changes
👉🏼 Restricted movement
👉🏼 Lower back and hip pain
👉🏼 Pelvic girdle dysfunction (PGD)
👉🏼 P***c symphysis dysfunction (SPD)
👉🏼 Sciatica
👉🏼 Neck and shoulder dysfunction

The issues listed above are very common during pregnancy due to changes in posture, weight distribution, and ligament laxity caused by hormones, for example the increased presence of hormones like relaxin and progesterone.

💪🏼 How Chiropractic Helps:
Gentle adjustments, joint mobilisations, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation to help the body adapt to pregnancy, alleviating dysfunction, reducing pain and improving mobility and strength.

Ever wandered HOW you can have Chiropractic treatment whilst pregnant?
