Headache Treatment
What types of headaches can chiropractic care treat?
While chiropractic care can’t treat all types of headaches, it is generally regarded as being effective in treating these three headache types:
- tension headaches,
- cervicogenic headaches (caused by neck issues), and
- some cluster headaches.
A tension headache is one that is caused by stress, muscle tension, or posture problems, and may result in a dull ache or pressure around the forehead.
A cervicogenic headache originates from issues in the neck, such as joint dysfunction or muscle tension. Pain often starts in the neck and radiates to the head. A cervicogenic headache may sometimes mimic a migraine.
Cluster headaches are intense, severe headaches that can occur in clusters or repeat over time. Cluster headaches cause sharp, burning pain around one eye, often with tearing, nasal congestion, or restlessness. In some patients, they may last weeks or months.
Commonly Asked Headache Questions
What is the difference between chiropractic care and medication for headaches?
Chiropractic care for headaches focuses on spinal adjustments and lifestyle changes to address common headache triggers
Medication, on the other hand, offers quick symptom relief by targeting biological causes. However, it does not address the underlying cause of your headache.
What is the difference between chiropractic care and medication for headaches?
Some studies suggest that chiropractic care may reduce the frequency or intensity of migraines. Especially if the cause of those migraines is due to a musculoskeletal issue, such as neck tension.
However, the evidence is mixed. Chiropractic care may be most effective as part of a broader approach to tackling migraines, one that also includes medical and lifestyle interventions.
