Common Complaints > Headaches and Migraines

Headaches can present in many ways. There are two main types of headaches: tension headache and migraine headache. Both may be successfully treated by your Chiropractor.

Tension headache is due to anxiety and stress causing tightening of the muscles in the shoulders, neck and jaw.

Migraine headache can be very distressing and last from a few hours to several days. Symptoms include severe head pain, dizziness, nausea, flashing lights and visual disturbance.

Other causes of headaches include sinus infections, dehydration, allergies and visual strain.

Your chiropractor is trained to diagnose the cause of your headache, and treat you accordingly, or refer you elsewhere if appropriate. Millions of headache sufferers have benefited from the safe, natural, drugless, chiropractic approach to health care.
