Headaches & Migraines
How can Chiropractic help with headaches?
Are headaches, migraines or face pain slowing you down? Headache relief is one of the most common reasons people seek Chiropractic care. Anyone who has experienced headaches knows how nagging and they can be.
It is currently estimated that 80% of the people will experience tension headache at some point, and 15% of the population suffer from migraines (7,10)
Chiropractors have the training to recognise different types of headaches and migraines. Chiropractors' have various techniques and tools at our disposal to help patients achieve relief from those sore and throbbing areas in their head, neck, face, and jaw.
At Dr Nathan's Chiropractic Studio, I have helped many patients in; Windsor, Prahran, South Yarra, St Kilda, and the inner Melbourne area with headaches.
I welcome any questions you have on headaches and head and face pain. Please book an appointment or call 0400 041 976 to schedule a consultation, so I may be able to provide you with an appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
