Frequently Asked Questions
No single treatment is appropriate for every headache. Chiropractic care may help when headaches are associated with neck tension, restricted movement, posture, or certain musculoskeletal factors.
A headache diary can be helpful. Record when headaches occur, their duration, possible triggers, accompanying symptoms, and anything that improves or worsens them.
Seek immediate medical care for a sudden severe headache, a headache following significant trauma, or one accompanied by weakness, confusion, fainting, fever, vision loss, difficulty speaking, or other unusual neurological symptoms.
