Headaches

There are different types of headaches. As with all conditions presented the clinic, a thorough history and physical examination are performed to differentiate what kind of headache you have. Most of the time, headaches are actually caused by subluxation of the neck and midback vertebrae along with muscle tension of the neck, midback, and shoulders. Upon proper diagnosis, a treatment plan specifically designed for you will be presented. Headaches of musculoskeletal (pertaining to muscles and bones) origins are effectively treated with chiropractic care as research shows. Taking pills only masks the pain and does not address the real cause of the problem. As a result, rebound headaches occur after the pill wears off, and more pills are taken, and so on. It is for this reason that most chronic headaches occur.  Click here for more information on the effectiveness of chiropractic care on headaches.

Some headaches are caused by muscle tension on the base of the skull, neck, and/or shoulders.  Cervicogenic headaches may also be produced by the subluxation of the vertebrae of the neck and midback.
