Headaches
Although the vast majority of people will experience a headache at some point in their life time. Regular headaches aren’t normal and you shouldn’t have to suffer with them. The vast majority of cases will last minutes to hours and are not life threatening however can be debilitating and if not resolved by themselves, may indicate an issue that needs looking at. The body is able to heal itself very effectively unless there’s something stopping this healing process.
What Causes Headaches?
There are many things that can cause headaches but by far the most common is from the neck. It is estimated around 90% of headaches are caused by issues within the neck that refer pain into the head. This can come from the muscles (tension type headaches) or the joints (cervicogenic). Both can give mild to severe symptoms however fortunately it is precisely these types of headaches that Chiropractors have the most amount of success with.

How Can A Chiropractor Help With Headaches?
Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct dysfunctional joints within the spine that may be causing your headache. We often get very good results with this type of issue due to the large contribution that the neck has. Chiropractors are also trained to rule out more the very rare but serious causes of headaches that would require referral to GP or A&E for medical attention.
