Chiropractic Care and Headaches

A study conducted at Macquarie University found that specific chiropractic adjustments to the spine significantly reduced migraines in 71% of the individuals surveyed. Participants experienced notable reductions in the frequency, duration, severity, and the amount of medication they needed.*

Many types of headaches are associated with poor posture and issues in the neck or upper back. These headaches are commonly felt in areas such as the upper neck, back of the head, temples, and behind the eyes. As a result, many individuals suffering from headaches find relief through chiropractic care.

Other physical and environmental factors contributing to headaches can include fatigue, caffeine, alcohol, stress, and dehydration.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care primarily focuses on identifying, correcting, and preventing impairments in the nervous system that may contribute to pain and discomfort. By correcting these impairments, chiropractic adjustments can help manage headaches for some individuals.

Chiropractors use gentle spinal adjustments to address underlying issues in the spine, which may be contributing to headache symptoms. In addition, chiropractors provide lifestyle advice to help reduce the likelihood of headaches occurring in the future.

Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment option, and it is becoming an increasingly popular choice for people seeking effective headache management.
