When to Seek Help
Seek urgent medical attention if you experience a sudden 'thunderclap' headache, confusion, weakness, fever, or pain after a head injury.
Our Treatment Approach
Manual Therapy
We use gentle spinal mobilization and soft tissue techniques to reduce tension in the neck and upper back, which are often the primary triggers for tension-type headaches and cervicogenic migraines.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments aimed at improving joint function in the cervical spine. By restoring correct alignment and movement, we can help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine episodes.
Lifestyle & Trigger Management
Our team provides tailored advice on ergonomic setups, stress reduction techniques, and dietary triggers to empower you to manage your condition long-term and prevent future flare-ups.
Posture Rehabilitation
Correcting 'forward head posture' caused by desk work or device use. Targeted exercises strengthen the deep neck flexors to support your spine and reduce the load on sensitive nerves and muscles.
Headaches & Migraines FAQs
Can a chiropractor help with migraines?
Yes. Many migraines are triggered by tension in the neck and upper spine. By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve irritation, we can often reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.
What are 'Cervicogenic' headaches?
These are headaches that actually originate from issues in the neck (cervical spine). They often feel like a dull ache starting at the base of the skull and radiating forward.
How many appointments will I need?
This depends on your specific triggers and how long you've had the symptoms. After your initial assessment, we’ll provide a clear treatment plan tailored to your needs.
When should I seek urgent help?
Seek emergency care if you experience a sudden 'thunderclap' headache, fever, stiff neck, confusion, vision loss, or numbness in the limbs.
