Headaches

Chiropractic treatment for primary headaches

Migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches, which make up more than 90% of all headaches, are known as primary headaches because they are not caused by diseases from other parts of the body. These headaches are triggered by stress, muscle tension, foods, noise, light, insomnia, exercise, and poor posture.

Chiropractic care can be an effective solution for tension headaches and migraines. At Margate Chiropractic, we assess the root causes—often related to neck misalignment or stress—and provide gentle adjustments and lifestyle support to reduce frequency and severity of symptoms.


Headaches

In addition to consulting your health provider for your headache, ensure that you take good care of yourself at home by maintaining good posture when sitting and working. Make sure that you also take frequent breaks from sitting to stretch and drink ample amounts of water to prevent dehydration. Also, do not clench your teeth since this stresses your temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
