How Chiropractic Care May Help

Chiropractic adjustments may help some people with tension-type headaches and headaches that originate from the neck. At Dalhousie Family Chiropractic & Massage, we assess each patient first. Care may include adjustments, Active Release Technique, and home exercises aimed at improving neck movement and reducing muscle tension.

If you experience migraines, we can assess whether a musculoskeletal component may be contributing and work alongside your physician as part of your overall care.

FAQ

How long does it take to get results?

Response to care varies depending on the type of headache, how long you’ve had it, and other factors. We’ll review your progress regularly, and if your headaches aren’t improving, we’ll discuss other options or refer you to your physician.

What are some other ways to manage headaches?

Alongside chiropractic care, other drug-free methods can help reduce headache discomfort. Techniques such as relaxation exercises, yoga, and acupuncture may offer relief. Moreover, noticing if any foods or drinks you consume trigger headaches is a good idea. Potential triggers include Parmesan cheese, dark chocolate, and red wine.

When should someone seek immediate care?

If you experience an unusually severe headache that worsens over time or a headache following a head injury, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms such as fever, stiff neck, confusion, decreased alertness, or memory loss accompanying your headache also warrant urgent care.
