Headaches and Migraines Relief in North Shore
From the pounding pain to the unrelenting tension, frequent headaches or migraines can affect your quality of life. They can prevent you from being able to focus, drain your energy, and keep you from the people and activities you love. Whether you feel a dull ache or experience an intense migraine with nausea and light sensitivity, you want relief as fast as possible.
Because we recognise how disruptive head pain can be, we take it very seriously—and look beyond the surface to understand what could be contributing to your discomfort.
What Causes Headaches?
Headaches aren’t always straightforward. In many cases, they result from irritation or stress affecting the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles around the head and neck. But they can also signal something deeper. According to Stanford Healthcare (2022), potential causes include:
- Irritated nerves in the head or neck
- Muscle tension or fatigue
- Changes in blood vessel activity
- Previous head or neck injury
It’s crucial to identify what’s behind your headaches, especially if they’re becoming more frequent or severe. A thorough assessment is critical as it may help rule out serious causes and pinpoint what’s within your control.
A Natural, Nervous System Approach
Research from the Canadian Chiropractic Association (2022) notes that chiropractic care may help manage these kinds of headaches and may reduce migraine intensity and frequency. A 2011 clinical guideline published in J Manipulative Physiol Ther. also supports chiropractic care for headache relief in adults.
A Gentle Shift May Make a Big Difference
Our chiropractors at Bays Chiropractic look at how your spine, muscles and nervous system function together. If we find misalignments or restricted movement in your neck, we may recommend gentle adjustments and supportive care to help reduce stress in that area. Our collaborative team may also suggest massage, acupuncture or physiotherapy to support your recovery and overall wellbeing.
