About Headaches
Headaches are symptoms of pain anywhere in the head or neck.
They can be migraine, tension type, or cluster in nature, and whilst some headaches can be very serious, most are not.

Cervicogenic
Our Approach to Headaches.
Cervicogenic headaches are a type of headache that arise from the neck or cervical spine. They are caused by a structural problem or injury in the neck, such as a herniated disc or arthritis, that triggers pain signals that are referred to the head. Cervicogenic headaches can be distinguished from other types of headaches by their location and symptoms.
Symptoms of cervicogenic headaches include:
1 Pain that is typically located on one side of the head, but may also be felt on both sides
2 Pain that originates in the neck or base of the skull and radiates up to the head
3 Stiffness or restricted range of motion in the neck
4 Pain that is triggered by certain movements of the neck or sustained postures
5 Pain that is often described as throbbing, aching, or dull.
Though a lot of people take medication when they have a headache, Chiropractic adjustments can be very effective in reducing pain and improving the range of motion by providing stretches, rehabilitative exercises, ergonomic advice, and spinal adjustments, all of which help to reduce the frequency and severity of cervicogenic headaches.

First Time Visitors
Relief Care
Our first goal is to relieve your symptoms as quickly as possible. The severity of your condition will determine the length of this phase. Typically, the number of visits in this phase is frequent and can involve multiple visits to the centre each week.
Rehabilitative / strengthen and corrective phase
During this phase of care, the goal is to remove the root cause of your problem and to restore optimal function. This phase of care is also dependent upon the severity of the problem. The frequency of care can still be multiple visits per week, but unlikely to be as frequent as the relief phase of care.
Wellness Care
Once your body has had the chance to heal, we believe it is important to continue with care by having periodic checkups to help prevent future problems and to enable your body to continue to function at its most optimal level. Your lifestyle, health goals, and practitioner’s advice will determine the frequency of care that is right for you.
