Headaches

  • Most people with headaches due to musculoskeletal problems respond favourably to Chiropractic care.
    • The most important task for the Chiropractor at the new patient visit is to determine if headache is due to an imbalance between nervous system, muscles and joints or if it needs further referral.
    • Once the diagnosis is made, the Chiropractor uses a large variety of different techniques to improve function within the musculoskeletal system.
