Headaches & Migraines

Headaches are a very common cause of pain and can have a significant impact on a persons’ ability to complete day-to-day tasks, work and life in general. There are many different types of headache, all of which vary in their presentation, frequency and intensity.

When you see a Chiropractor for a headache they will use a thorough history and physical examination to determine the type of headache you are suffering from, and whether or not it is something that Chiropractic treatment can help with. .

Chiropractic treatment is beneficial when a headache is caused by or related to, dysfunction and pain radiating from joints and muscles of the neck and jaw. This is often associated with feeling tense and stressed. Additionally, Chiropractic treatment can be used for migraine prevention.

Treatment of headaches and migraines often involves soft tissue release, joint mobilisations and manipulations around the neck, shoulders and jaw. Additional advice will likely be given including prescribed exercises and lifestyle recommendations.

Neck pain

Neck pain, neck stiffness and general tension are all very common. Symptoms can vary from feeling tight and limited in range of motion, to experiencing pain radiating up the neck, in the surrounding muscles, and even experiencing nerve pains from the neck into the shoulder or arm. Neck pain is also often associated with shoulder injuries and/or headaches.

Sciatica

Tension Headaches: Often linked to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, chiropathy can help relieve tension and reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Shoulder pain

Shoulder Pain: Chiropathy techniques may address issues such as rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and general shoulder discomfort by improving joint alignment and function.

Hip and Knee Pain: Conditions like hip bursitis or knee arthritis may be managed with manual techniques aimed at enhancing joint movement and reducing pain.

Sciatica

Sciatic Nerve Pain: Chiropathy can help manage sciatica, which is characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve from the lower back down the leg, by addressing spinal misalignments that may be contributing to nerve irritation.
