Misalignment or Subluxation of a Neck Vertebrae

​

Headaches are common, but they’re not normal. Over 90% of headaches and migraines are caused by neck related faults – misalignment, muscle tension, disc problems, etc..  There are many other lesser causes – hormonal and dietary, jaw and bite faults, blood pressure, sinus or eye problems, etc.  The primary objective of chiropractic care is find and reduce the underlying cause of your headache. Taking a good history and performing a good examination of the neck, head and jaw region are vital to successfully diagnosing the cause of headaches and migraines.

No Drug Culture Here!
Pain relievers of various types are the most common approach to headaches. In our practice we take a more natural approach. Our objective is to find and reduce the underlying cause of a headache.

​

Hidden Cause
A common cause of headaches is from spinal bones in the neck that aren’t supporting the head properly. You might not have neck pain or notice your reduced ability to turn your head but  subluxations affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head.

Our thorough examination detects subluxation patterns that could be causing your headaches. If subluxations are present, you’re almost certain to benefit from chiropractic care.

​

Compensation Reaction
Some are surprised to learn that their headaches are being caused by problems in their middle or lower back! The neck compensates, shifting the head off center, causing muscular tension and headaches.

While we can’t guarantee results, chiropractic generally has a high success rate with patients who get headaches.
