About headaches care at our clinic
Headaches have many causes, and only some are related to the neck and muscles. Our chiropractors consult on headaches, including migraine and tension-type headache, and help work out whether musculoskeletal factors may be playing a part.
- Headache diary. Tracking timing, triggers and symptoms helps your assessment.
- Neck and jaw. We look at the upper neck, shoulders and jaw as possible contributors.
- Know the warning signs. Some headaches need urgent medical care — see the list below.
