Headache and Migraine FAQs

Can a chiropractor help with migraines?

Many migraine sufferers find that chiropractic care, including adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and posture correction, helps reduce the frequency and intensity of their migraines.

What type of headaches does chiropractic care treat?

Chiropractic care is commonly used for tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches that start in the neck, migraines, and headaches following whiplash injuries.

Can neck problems cause headaches?

Yes. Misalignments and muscle tension in the neck and upper back can irritate nerves and muscles at the base of the skull, triggering headaches.

Can poor posture cause headaches?

How many visits will it take to reduce my headaches?

Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks of consistent care, though the timeline depends on the type, frequency, and cause of your headaches.

When is a headache a medical emergency?

Seek emergency care for a sudden, severe headache, a headache with fever and stiff neck, confusion, weakness, vision changes, difficulty speaking, or a headache after a head injury.

Can lifestyle changes help my headaches?

Yes. Staying hydrated, eating regular meals, improving sleep, managing stress, and taking posture breaks can help reduce headache triggers.
