Headaches/migraines

There are various types of headaches which originate from different causes but at the end of the day, all are irritating to the person, and some can be debilitating.

The causes for headaches can range from neck dysfunction, dehydration, excess sunlight, tumours, strokes and other predisposing factors that cause less common headache types.

The most common types of headaches people experience are;

  • Cervicogenic
  • Tension type
  • Migraines
  • Cluster
  • Dehydration
  • Allergy
  • Sinus

Repetitive jobs or postures are thought to be a leading factor in increases the prevalence of non-serious headaches in today’s population. Extended periods of sitting, looking at bright screens, slumping, bending the head and body forward are all stressors and triggers.

Cervicogenic headaches are referred pain perceived in the head from a joint dysfunction in the neck and its components bone, disc and/or soft tissue. Numerous pain-sensitive structures exist in the cervical (upper neck) and occipital (back of head) regions. This type of headache has great treatment outcomes with Chiropractic care when removing the primary joint dysfunction in the neck.

Tension type headaches can be triggered by various stressors and can be infrequent or chronic and repetitive. Chiropractic care has been show to significantly reduce the frequency of these types of headaches.

Migraines also occur for various reasons, from hormonal, neurovascular and neural sensitisation. Not all migraines are effectively treated with Chiropractic but some can have immense results for someone unable to leave a dark quiet room for days.

A combination of specific Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue releases to the neck and upper back region help to reset the joint and nerve function that controls pain and muscle tension which often can be the cause of some headaches and migraines.

Chiropractic Australia involves the use of hands-on spinal manipulation called an ‘adjustment’ and other alternative treatments such as muscle releases, stretches and treatment tools. Proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself in certain instances without surgery or medication. The aim of chiropractor Australia is to treat the cause, not the symptom!

The Adjustment uses the bones as levers to create ideal movement and function where it has been dysfunctional, which can cause neurological and muscular stress. Dysfunction may occur due to tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support. The nervous system controls every single organ and function in the body. If a nearby joint or tissue is dysfunctional, it may create change or damage to the nerve. The muscles hang off bones (except the ones that make you smile!) and nerves tell muscles what to do. This means that if joints and nerves are dysfunctional, so may be the muscles.

Chiropractic treatment in Woolloongabba is used as a spinal alignment correction tool, and as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Chiro Australia is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Techniques use quick but small movements to stretch tight areas, break up scar tissue and decompress joints.
