6 Ways Chiropractic Care Can Help Manage Headaches

 

Being able to think clearly and calmly allows us to make decisions, process emotions, and carry on with our day-to-day lives. That clarity can be easily destroyed with a strong headache. Many people have occasional headaches, but frequent headaches that affect your ability to sleep or get on with your day can be disabling. 🤯

HOW CAN CHIROPRACTORS HELP WITH HEADACHES❓

Chiropractors can assess, diagnose, and manage headaches. Evidence suggests that chiropractic care, including manual therapy, can be effective in treating cervicogenic and tension headaches; and can help decrease the intensity and frequency of migraines. ✅

Chiropractic treatment options may include:

1️⃣  Manual therapy

2️⃣  Soft tissue therapy

3️⃣  Modalities including electrical stimulation, acupuncture, and ultrasound

4️⃣  Rehabilitation

5️⃣  Lifestyle changes and education

6️⃣  Referral and co-management

It’s important to take headaches seriously. Consider consulting a chiropractor if you often have headaches, if you frequently take a pain reliever for your headaches, if your headache pattern changes, or if your headaches are getting worse. 

Seek prompt attention if your headache is sudden and severe, follows a head injury, or is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking. ⚠
