Stop Masking Your Headaches with Short Term Solutions

Causes of Headaches

The most common causes are physical traumas, emotional stress, nutrition deficiencies or chemical toxins. Sometimes there may be a combination of these and other factors.

When the spinal bones in the neck and upper back lose their normal position or motion, nerves that are transmitting through this region are affected and can result in chronic headaches, migraines, dizziness or giddiness, ringing the ears, and even sinus problems.

Headaches may also be caused by accidents, injuries, falls, repetitive stress injuries, poor ergonomics/posture, food intake, physical traumas and dehydration.

Hear From Others

I’ve experienced an intense headache, radiating pain on my neck and shoulders. It was so severe that I couldn’t do any household chores and was home-bound. I took painkillers and muscle relaxants everyday. It took the pain away but it was not a permanent solution. 6 weeks into chiropractic care, I’m beginning to feel relieved. I can resume doing my household chores again. I’m no longer on any medication! I can finally function normally again.

Grace Ng

I experienced chronic headaches and I was consuming aspirin daily. After my treatment at Chiropractic First, the migraines and headaches have become a thing of the past! My stress levels are reduced. My colleagues commented that my posture is looking more balanced. Thank you, Dr. Todd. You’re amazing!

Pushkar Jamnerkar

I was constantly having back aches and mild to severe headaches. I’m just 24 years old. I’ve been to the GP and the doctors prescribed me migraine pills and muscle relaxants. Having headaches and back pain reduced my productivity and mood. After 5 adjustment sessions, I feel better! Headaches reduced and my productivity at work increased. I can work and focus for a longer period now. Definitely felt the difference than before!

Hanif Cheah

Before coming to Chiropractic First, I had very bad headaches for a long time, almost 3-4 times a week. I have difficulty getting up almost everyday and I had to take painkillers. Dr. Sharvin has helped me a lot and my pain has reduced significantly. I’m still in progress but I feel much better than before. I feel more comfortable, less headaches and backaches. A big thanks to Dr. Sharvin!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Any Questions?

If you require more information, contact us and ask one of our chiropractors.

How can chiropractic care help with headaches?

Chiropractic has been linked to a better performing nervous system, immune system, better posture, and overall better health. Most patients report other effects like better quality sleep, reducing or stopping the use of over-the-counter medications, and even a better quality of life.

What if I don’t have a headache when I visit the clinic?

Chiropractic treatment is not an aspirin. Chiropractic care can help to retrain and strengthen the muscles that support your spine. It takes time for your spine to heal.
