FAQ's
Can chiropractic care provide long-term relief for migraines?
Yes, chiropractic care can provide long-term relief for migraines. Through spinal manipulation and other evidence-based techniques, chiropractors can address the underlying causes of migraines and reduce their frequency and severity. This long-term approach improves the quality of life for migraine sufferers.
What types of headaches are most effectively treated by chiropractors?
Chiropractic treatment can effectively address various types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches. By identifying and addressing the underlying causes of these headaches, we can provide targeted and personalised care for each individual.
How does spinal manipulation help in relieving headache symptoms?
Spinal manipulation, a key component of chiropractic care, helps relieve headache symptoms by restoring proper alignment and movement of the spine. This reduces tension in the neck muscles and alleviates pressure on the nervous system, resulting in a reduction in headache symptoms.
The Problem.
The Debilitating Impact of Migraines and Chronic Headaches
Migraines and chronic headaches can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Migraine sufferers often experience severe pain that can last for several hours or even days. This pain can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound, making it difficult to perform daily tasks, look at a computer or engage in social activities.
Chronic headaches, including tension headaches, can also be debilitating. These headaches can occur frequently and disrupt your daily routine. The constant pain and discomfort can lead to decreased productivity, increased stress levels, and a diminished overall quality of life.
Common Types of Headaches: From Tension to Migraine
There are several common types of headaches, each with its own unique characteristics and causes. Tension headaches are the most common type and are often described as a dull, aching pain that can be felt on both sides of the head. These headaches are typically caused by muscle tension and stress.
Migraine headaches are more severe and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances. They are often characterised by throbbing pain on one side of the head. Cervicogenic headaches, which originate from the neck, can also cause significant pain and discomfort.

Spinal Manipulation: Aligning Your Way to Relief
Spinal manipulation is a key component of chiropractic care for headache relief. This technique involves applying controlled force to specific areas of the spine to improve alignment and mobility. By restoring proper alignment, spinal manipulation helps reduce tension and pressure on the nerves that can contribute to headaches.
During a spinal manipulation session, we will use our hands or specialised tools to apply gentle, targeted pressure to the spine. This technique is safe and effective in relieving pain and improving overall spinal health.
Our chiropractors are skilled in performing spinal manipulations to provide headache relief. By addressing the underlying issues that contribute to headaches, spinal manipulation can help align your spine and alleviate pain.
-
Massage Therapy: Easing Muscle Tension and Pain
Massage therapy is another effective treatment for relieving headaches. This technique involves applying manual pressure and kneading to the muscles to reduce tension and promote relaxation. By targeting specific areas of muscle tension, massage therapy can help alleviate the pain associated with headaches.
During a massage therapy session, our trained therapists will use their hands or specialised tools to apply various techniques to the muscles. These techniques may include kneading, rubbing, and stretching. Massage therapy can help improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote overall relaxation.
-
Tailored Corrective Exercises: Strengthening for Prevention
In addition to spinal manipulation and massage therapy, we may recommend tailored corrective exercises to strengthen the muscles and improve posture. These exercises can help prevent future headaches by addressing the underlying issues that contribute to poor posture and muscle imbalances.
Some common corrective exercises for headache relief include:
- Neck stretches and strengthening exercises
- Postural exercises to improve alignment
- Core strengthening exercises to support the spine
- Relaxation techniques to reduce stress and tension
By incorporating tailored corrective exercises into a personalised treatment plan, we can help you improve your posture, strengthen weak muscles, and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
What our clients think...
"I experienced a rather bad fall eighteen months ago, my back feeling intense intermittent pain which restricted my usual exercise routine. David Tennison assessed the issue thoroughly and under his guidance and instruction, I underwent a series of rehabilitating exercises and enjoyed a complete physical recovery; I recommend his work to you unreservedly and thank him for his encouragement and expertise."
- Andy Revell
"I have been to see David a few times, he is really friendly and helped me with my back. The first time I saw him was back in 2021, being a cleaner he helped me to adjust the way I work so it wasn't affecting my back and explained everything clearly to me and showed my how my back wasn't straight. After quite a few sessions my back has been amazing and haven't suffered. I went to see him again today about my neck and shoulders and I'm now pain free, can't thank him enough and i would highly recommend to anyone."
- Katie Childs
"I’ve been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for weeks. After the initial examination, I was provided with an easy to understand diagnosis from David who explained the treatment required. The treatment I’ve had from David has been excellent, as well as explaining my progress and exercises to do when away from the clinic. Amazing service from start to finish. Would highly recommend!"
