How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Headaches

Headaches and migraines can be more than just frustrating and annoying. They disrupt your daily life and well-being. At Adjusting to Health, we understand the profound impact that headaches and migraines can have. At our practices we have Chiropractors that are very well educated in not only the causes of headaches and migraines but also their treatment. We're proud to say that we're able to offer a natural, effective approach to relief.​

Understanding the Connection

Many headaches, including tension-type, suboccipital and cervicogenic headaches, originate from issues in the neck and upper back. Misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can lead to muscle tension and nerve irritation, contributing to headache symptoms.​ Our Bonnyrigg and Doonside Chiropractors specialize in identifying and correcting these subluxations that may be causing these issues. Through precise and specific spinal adjustments, we aim to restore proper alignment and address the root cause of your headaches.​

What to Expect from Chiropractic Care

Your journey to relief begins with a comprehensive assessment, including posture analysis, spinal imaging, and a detailed health history. This allows us to create a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs and health goals.​

Beyond adjustments, we provide guidance on lifestyle modifications including ergonomic improvements at the office, sleep tips from professionals and exercises to support your spine and nervous system. Our holistic approach ensures that we address not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of your headaches.​



Supporting Evidence for Kids and Headaches

There's countless studies that show Chiropractic is effective for headaches in adults, but did you know that it's now being studied in children too? The results are amazing, just as we expected. Recent study published in the 2023 Chiropractic & Manual Therapies journal found that Chiropractic adjustments significantly reduced the frequency of headaches in children aged 7–14 years with recurrent headaches. This study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting Chiropractic interventions for headache relief. You can read the article here.
