Chiropractic treatment of headaches and migraines.

Chiropractors have high success rates in providing long-term relief from headaches and migraines.
This is because Chiropractic treatment philosophy focuses on correcting the causes of headaches.
Most headaches have spinal, neurovascular and musco-skeletal tendencies along with repetitive habit patterns (sitting in the same position / doing the same things all day).
In modern medicine, treatments have included hot and cold therapy, acupuncture, soft issue mobilisation and manipulation of various types and analgesia. Chiropractic therapy embraces many of these protocols.
Chiropractors mostly treat headaches by:
• Concentrating their treatment regimes on the neuro-vascular and musco-skeletal element of the cervico-dorsal area of the body.
• Focusing on soft tissue and manipulative techniques that are gentle, non-forceful and non-invasive therapies.

Can Chiropractors help with headaches and migraines?

The short answer to this question is: Yes, a chiropractor will more than likely be able to assist you with headaches and migraines – your chiropractor will conduct a thorough diagnosis and provide the appropriate treatment and/or referral.

Headaches are a universal problem that humankind has struggled with for hundreds of years and is one of the leading ailments presented to chiropractors.

The most common types and causes of headaches are:
• Cervicogenic headaches (which is essentially a neuro-vascular problem in the upper cervical spine)
• Cervico-dorsal tension headaches which manifest in the neck and upper back.
• Post traumatic injuries to the head or neck e.g. whiplash and sports injuries
• Migraines and cluster headaches
• Analgesic overdosing / prolonged usage of medications
• Headaches developed from poor postural habits stemming from long work hours spent sitting at desks and looking at computer monitors.

Headaches are often neurovascular in nature with musculo-skeletal and soft tissue involvement, which is why Chiropractic treatment is such an effective therapy, providing immediate and long-term relief.

Working from home for long hours hunching over your desk and laptop can lead to neck and back pain (and potentially headaches). Try to keep your monitor at eye level, let your arms hang naturally close to your body with your elbows bent at 90 degrees, keep your feet on the floor with your knees bent at 90 degrees. Try not to cross your ankles or hook your feet under your chair. Take regular breaks to get up and move around.
