Chiropractic for Headaches
Treating Headaches
Many headaches actually originate from problems in the neck — a condition known as cervicogenic headache — and this type of pain is far more common than people realise. At Ponteland Chiropractic, we understand how frustrating and debilitating headaches can be, impacting your daily life. The muscles, joints, and other structures in the neck can be involved to lead to frequent or persistent headaches.
We pride ourselves on our evidence-based approach, ensuring our treatment methods align with the latest best practice standards. Chiropractic treatment has been found to be an effective treatment for different headache types that have musculoskeletal elements to them; most particularly cervicogenic and tension headaches. This is reflected in the latest research and guidelines, including the RCC's headaches quality standards.

How Chiropractic Can Help with Headaches
Our approach at Ponteland Chiropractic aims to provide the care you need for your pain. Here's how we can help alleviate your headache symptoms:
- Restore Joint Function: We utilise precise spinal manipulation and mobilisation to enhance the movement of the facet joints in your neck, which can significantly reduce headache pain.
- Address Muscular Tension: Our soft tissue therapies target tight and tense muscles that may be contributing to your headache discomfort.
- Postural Advice: We focus on addressing lifestyle and posture-related strain, particularly from desk-based work and screen use, helping to prevent future headaches.
- Support Lifestyle Changes: We offer advice on ergonomic workstation setup, posture, and healthy lifestyle habits, forming a vital part of your personalised care plan.
The Benefits of Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is increasingly recognised as one of the most important non-drug treatments for certain types of headaches. By tackling the underlying causes rather than merely masking symptoms, we aim to deliver longer-lasting results. Our experienced and qualified chiropractors are dedicated to providing you with a personal touch, ensuring that you receive the care and attention you deserve.
If you suffer from headaches and would like to learn more about how chiropractic care could help you, we are here to answer any questions you may have.
Can chiropractic help with migraines
The cause of migraines is still unknown and symptoms and triggers vary from person-to-person. Some triggers and aggravators of migraines include musculoskeletal elements; such as the joints and muscles of the upper back and neck. Chiropractic care can be used to address these factors and help to reduce and manage migraine frequency and severity. While useful, chiropractic care is NOT a cure for migraines.
