Headaches: Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic treatment safe for headaches?
Yes, chiropractic care is considered safe for most people when performed by a licensed professional. The most common side effect is mild soreness after an adjustment. If you have specific medical conditions, your chiropractor will assess your suitability before treatment.
How many chiropractic sessions do I need for headache relief?
It varies by patient. Some people feel relief after just 1–3 sessions, while others with chronic issues may need ongoing care over several weeks. After your initial consultation, your chiropractor will recommend a tailored care plan based on your symptoms and goals.
Are there any risks to chiropractic adjustments for headaches?
Chiropractic care is generally low-risk. Rare side effects include temporary soreness, fatigue, or dizziness. Serious complications are extremely rare. A thorough health history is taken to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate for your condition.
Why do I get headaches from neck tension?
Neck tension can compress nerves or strain muscles that refer pain to the head. Poor posture, long hours at a desk, or stress can all cause this tension. Chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment and reduce muscular stress — decreasing your risk of tension headaches.
Can chiropractic help migraines?
While chiropractic care doesn’t cure migraines, it can reduce their frequency and severity if they’re linked to neck tension or spinal misalignment. Many patients report fewer attacks after regular chiropractic treatment, especially when combined with lifestyle changes.
What’s the difference between a migraine and a tension headache?
Tension headaches feel like a band of pressure around your head and are often caused by muscle tension.
Migraines are more intense, often throbbing, and can include nausea, sensitivity to light, or aura.
A chiropractor can help you identify the type of headache you’re experiencing and suggest appropriate treatment.
How do I know if my headache is from my neck?
Common signs include:
Headache starting at the base of the skull
Pain that increases with neck movement
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Relief after massaging neck muscles
A chiropractor can perform specific tests to confirm if your neck is the source of your headaches.
