Headaches and Migraines
FEEL BETTER. MOVE BETTER. LIVE BETTER.
Chiropractic offers great relief to many headache sufferers.
Problems with the neck, jaw and muscles are common causes of headaches and migraines that can be helped by methods other than medication. In fact, it is now recognized that many headaches can actually be the result of the overuse of pain medications. These headaches are known as ‘rebound’ or ‘medication induced headaches’.
