Headaches & Migraine Treatment in Chiropractic-Works & Wellness Clinic 

Did you know that there are more than 300 medically categorized headaches, and medication is often the primary approach in up to 90% of cases? Recent research has uncovered a common pathway, particularly the lower brainstem, shared by various headaches, including cervicogenic, migraine, tension-type headaches, and more.

​

At Chiropractic-Works and Wellness Clinic: We provide specialized chiropractic treatment for headache and migraine relief, with a focus on the upper neck joints. Our trained clinicians have a special interest in interventions that can modify pain pathways, aiming to address the root cause rather than just alleviating symptoms.

​

Tension Headaches (Episodic - Occur Less Than 15 Days Per Month)

Tension headaches are one of the most common types we see at Chiropractic-Works and Wellness Clinic. Often described as a drawn out, mild to moderate pain feeling like a tight band around your head

Common symptoms include:

• Gradual onset of pain

• Mild to moderate pain at its peak

• Constant pain or pressure affecting the front, top or sides of the head

​

Chronic Tension Headaches (15+ Days Per Month)

Tension headaches are considered to be chronic when they are occurring more than 15 days per month. While the symptoms are more or less the same, the pain is almost always present and can negatively impact one’s lifestyle with the following associated symptoms:

• Difficulty Sleeping

• Chronic fatigue

• Difficulty concentrating

• Muscle aching in the neck and upper shoulders

• Mild intolerance to light and noise

​

Migraines

Migraines are also a very common disorder we treat at Chiropractic-Works and Wellness Clinic. A severe and debilitating throbbing headache that is often accompanied by nausea and a strong sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines that are left untreated can have a significant impact on the quality of one’s life.

Common symptoms of a migraine include:

• Moderate to severe pain

• Pain is isolated to one side of the head

• Pain is aggravated by movement

• Strong sensitivity to light and sound

• Disturbed vision

• Nausea or vomiting

​

Cervicogenic Headaches

Cervicogenic headache is actually a referred pain stemming from the neck. It is considered a secondary headache as it is caused by another physical issue. This type of headache is caused by a disorder of the cervical spine such as disc degeneration, prolapse or facet joint arthritis to name a few.

Those suffering from cervicogenic headaches often have a reduced range of motion in the neck, with pain worsening when pressure is applied to certain positions on the neck.

Other common symptoms associated with a cervicogenic headache include:

• Nausea

• Blurred vision

• Dizziness

• Stiff neck

• Poor concentration
