Headaches and Chiropractic Care

There are two types of headaches—primary and secondary.

Most people think of a chiropractor if they have back pain, but chiropractors can treat a number of issues naturally, including headaches. Chiropractors offer a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that gets you feeling better quickly, safely, and effectively.

There are two types of headaches: Primary Headaches include tension, migraine, cervicogenic, and cluster headaches and are not caused by other underlying medical conditions. More than 90% of headaches are primary.

Secondary Headaches result from other medical conditions, such as infection or increased pressure in the skull due to a tumor. These account for fewer than 10% of all headaches.
