How can Move Strong Clinic help with headaches?

There are numerous causes of headache pain, many of which we can successfully treat with chiropractic care and others that we can't. Headaches due to mechanical factors such as postural strain and injury would be what we specialise in. However, we can also help with contributing lifestyle factors such as stress management and dietary advice.

We specialise in examining the balance of the body’s musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine.

Chiropractic adjustments are used to help restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury, trauma, repetitive strain or other factors. Adjustments not only help restore mobility, but they can also provide natural pain relief for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue.

Exercise rehabilitation and education are also vital components in any treatment plan at Move Strong Clinic. Adjunct therapies such as dry needling, massage and cupping may also be incorporated to enhance desired outcomes.

FAQ's

How many chiropractic sessions are needed to treat headache pain? This can vary greatly depending on the patient, the causes and the patient's goals. We will be able to give you a general idea during your initial appointment, once the history and physical examination are completed.

What is involved during a chiropractic appointment for headache pain? We first take a full history and perform a physical examination of your complaint. If we feel chiropractic care can help, we will discuss the proposed care and begin that session. We are strong believers in multi modal chiropractic care which may include adjustments, massage, exercises, education and other therapies such as dry needling and cupping.

Does chiropractic hurt? Generally, chiropractic adjustments don't hurt. However, if you'd prefer not to get adjusted, that's totally okay! There's still plenty we can do to treat your headache pain.

How does a chiropractic session for headache pain at Move Strong Clinic differ from physiotherapy? Every chiro and physio will be slightly different in their approach. However, at Move Strong Clinic, we believe that a good chiro and a good physio should be more similar in their approach than not. Although chiropractors traditionally focus on adjusting the joints, we believe that exercise and dealing with the soft tissues is equally important to achieve optimal results.
