Headaches

Headaches are common and almost everyone takes the odd one now and again for granted. You may however be suffering with more than you can cope with and chiropractors can treat many of the causes of headaches.

Could your headaches be coming from your neck?

Many headaches originate from problems within the muscles and joints of the neck. Poor posture, stress, prolonged desk work, repetitive movements and previous injuries can all place strain on the neck, leading to tension headaches and neck-related headaches.

When the joints and muscles of the neck become stiff or irritated, pain can often be referred into the head, causing headaches that may be felt at the base of the skull, behind the eyes, across the forehead or around the temples.

Neck pain and headaches frequently occur together, and many people are surprised to discover that improving the function of the neck can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of their headaches.

What about migraines?

Migraines are a more complex neurological condition that often involve symptoms such as severe headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. Whilst chiropractic treatment is not a cure for migraine, problems affecting the joints, muscles and nerves of the neck can sometimes act as a trigger or contributing factor in some individuals. Improving neck function and reducing muscular tension may help reduce the frequency or severity of migraine episodes for many patients.

How can chiropractic help?

At Newbury Chiropractic Centre, our experienced chiropractors regularly assess and treat patients suffering from headaches, neck pain and migraine-related symptoms. We begin with a thorough consultation and examination to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, postural advice, rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle recommendations. By improving the movement of the joints in the neck and reducing muscle tension, we aim to relieve irritation, restore normal function and help reduce the recurrence of symptoms.

What else can you do?

Many headaches can be linked to everyday habits and lifestyle factors. To help reduce your risk, we may recommend:

Improving workstation ergonomics and posture
Taking regular breaks from sitting and screen use
Managing stress levels
Maintaining good hydration
Regular stretching and exercise
Improving sleep quality

Our goal is not only to help relieve your current symptoms, but also to identify and address the factors that may be contributing to the problem so that you can enjoy long-term relief.
