The pain can be throbbing, stabbing, pounding or dull, and both its character and intensity differ from one type to another. Three common forms are tension headache, migraine and cluster headache, each with its own pattern and triggers.
Because headaches are often linked to tension in the neck and shoulders, a chiropractic approach can bring relief. Problems in the neck and poor posture frequently play a part.
Treating headaches and migraine in Geldermalsen
A headache can arise from increased muscle tension in the head, neck or shoulders, in which case we call it a tension headache. Sometimes it is caused by spasms in the blood vessels around the brain, which is what we know as migraine. The fifth cranial nerve may play a role in cluster headaches, although this has not been scientifically proven.
Our experienced chiropractors carefully investigate where your headache comes from and tailor the treatment accordingly. Not sure whether chiropractic is right for you? Read what to expect at your first visit or explore all of our treatments.
