Headaches

 

Headaches are so common that almost everyone takes the odd one now and again for granted, but you may be suffering more than you can cope with. Did you know that chiropractors treat many of the causes of headaches?

Migraine Migraine is a severe headache, accompanied by other symptoms which may include increased sensitivity to light or sound, nausea or visual disturbances that can last for hours or even days. Problems affecting the vertebrae (the bones of your spine) in your neck may also cause headaches, and may be a contributory factor in migraine. A chiropractor can identify a loss of proper movement in the vertebrae and associated areas, and by treating them, improve their movement. This reduces stresses on the muscles, joints and nerves which may be causing the problem.
