Chiropractic Care for Cervicogenic Headaches

Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from the neck. The pain from this type of headache can be experienced in the face and head. It usually begins with one side of pain originating at the back of the head and moving to the front. While the causes can vary, it's most commonly associated with stress and neck stiffness.

As the least common type of headache, cervicogenic headaches typically do not improve with medication. Instead, spinal manipulation has proven to be a highly effective treatment for this type of headache. In addition to spinal manipulation, chiropractors can also use joint mobilization and deep neck flexion exercises.

Chiropractic Options for Migraines

Migraines can be very debilitating headaches and are usually accompanied by symptoms like nausea, neck pain, eye pain, and dizziness. Chiropractic care is gaining popularity as a treatment for migraines because back and neck pain are common triggers for these painful conditions.

Helps restore alignment and restore proper nervous system communication

Alleviates muscle tension, which is a very common migraine trigger

Promotes normal blood flow

Strengthens spinal supportive muscles

Help identify migraine triggers and works to avoid them

How effective is chiropractic treatment for migraines? A study designed to assess the effectiveness of manipulative therapy was conducted, and it showed those who received chiropractic care for migraines experienced significant improvement in duration, frequency, disability, and medication use.
