Headache Causes

Primary headaches - treatable by chiropractors - are usually caused by problems associated with trauma or poor posture, which can aggravate the tendons and muscles of your head and neck. A primary headache is not generally a symptom of an underlying disease.

The most common primary headaches are:

• Cluster headache
• Migraine
• Tension headache

Headaches can have all sorts of other causes that a chiropractor can also help you address including:

• Environmental stimuli
• Insomnia
• Excessive exercise
• Blood sugar changes

Your chiropractic treatment will focus on these as well as obvious or acute trauma. Chiropractic care is caring for the whole person; a good chiropractor will look at all causes and help you to overcome that headache for good.

How will I be assessed?

Chiropractors look into your history during your initial examination; they may x-ray your neck area and will assess your posture, searching for the root cause of your headache. Headache pain varies in location and intensity and can be caused by a myriad of scenarios. Your chiropractor will help you figure out what triggered your headache and what to do about it.
