Chiropractic Care For Headaches/Migraine FAQs

What is the Difference Between Headaches and Migraines?

There are many different types of headaches, which experts have classified into two main groups — primary and secondary.

Primary headaches refer to independent conditions that cause pain in the head, face, or neck. Examples of primary headaches include migraines and tension headaches.

Secondary headaches occur as the result of another medical condition, such as an infection, stress, or medication effect.

A Migraine is a type of primary headache that can cause severe pain and other symptoms. People with migraine may experience periodic symptoms that Doctors name episodes or attacks.

Treatments will vary depending on your personal situation and may include soft tissue therapy, spinal manipulation, low-level laser therapy, and much more. Sometimes a Chiropractor will incorporate massage and special exercises designed to relax and strengthen muscles.
