Migraines & Headaches

There are many types of headaches and also many causes. Chiropractors are trained to treat many of these causes. Problems that affect the vertebrae in the neck can cause headaches and be a contributory factor in migraine headaches as well.

Decreased joint function and associated tight muscles in the neck shoulders or back due to stress, tension or poor posture can be dealt with and advise given. Pain referral patterns of certain muscles can create facial and head pain. A tightening of certain muscles will often occur when joints in the neck are not functioning as well as they could. As well as treatment for the problem your chiropractor at the Milton Keynes Chiropractic Clinic will give you any relevant ergonomic, postural lifestyle exercise or rehabilitation advise pertinent to your individual problem.

Because there are many possible and contributory causes of headaches we need to obtain a proper understanding of what is causing it. Because of this, at the Milton Keynes Chiropractic Clinic, we perform a thorough history taking and full examination (which involves chiropractic, orthopaedic, neurological and postural assessments and may even involve us taking X-rays of you) . Your first appointment will take approximately 1 hour. Please see the What Happens On My First Consultation? page of our website for full information of this consultation or call us to discuss an appointment.
