How we use gentle chiropractic approaches to managing and treating headaches and migraines

The relief may feel magic, but the treatment is based in stone-cold science. As highly trained chiropractors, we understand the crucial role of alignment to your overall health – your central nervous system influences every bodily function, including the occurrence of headaches and migraines – and when it’s out of alignment, that’s when things start to go haywire. By focusing on spinal alignment and optimising the function of your nervous system, our chiropractors in Applecross are dedicated to helping you feel your absolute best while keeping those headaches and migraines in check.
At Flourish, we use a tailored approach that targets the root cause of your headaches and migraines. Our exceptional chiropractors collaborate closely with you, and use your initial findings report, to design an individual care plan to suit your unique needs. Through the application of chiropractic techniques, we strive to decrease the frequency and intensity of those bothersome headaches and migraines, allowing you to fully embrace life without the burden of pain.

What are some of the common causes of headaches and migraines?

Headaches and migraines can be triggered by various factors, and we see some repeat visitors as common culprits in our clinic. From tension headaches caused by muscles in the neck and shoulders to poor posture, from dehydration to certain food insensitivities– these can all be treated by our chiropractors in our beautiful clinic.
More serious causes include misaligned vertebrae which can irritate nerves and result in headaches or migraines. When we use chiropractic alignment techniques to help your spine find its best spot, this can often relieve head pain. We also treat a lot of lovely women living through hormonal changes, where fluctuations in hormones can trigger debilitating migraines. We’ll help you with treatment and teach you a little about understanding hormonal patterns so you can manage these better.
No matter the initial reason, spinal adjustments can work wonders in alleviating migraines by addressing the underlying cause of your pain. Our skilled chiropractors in Applecross employ gentle and effective methods to help you experience the joy of a life without headaches and migraines. We’ve cracked the code of headaches!

FAQ

FAQs for chiropractic adjustments

Have you got a few questions for us? Aren’t we glad you asked, because we’ve got your back (pun intended). We’ve gathered the answers to the most frequently asked questions, so you can feel totally at ease and well-informed before joining our warm and welcoming family.

Chiropractic is a health-care profession that focuses on the spine and other joints of the body, and their connection to the nervous system. The word “chiropractic” means “to be done by hand.” Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system.

Chiropractic care can help to alleviate pain by: restoring spinal biomechanics; correcting dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system; encouraging normal joint motion; and reducing muscle spasm.

Chiropractic care has been deemed “remarkably safe” by a number of research studies and government inquiries, with an excellent safety record. In relation to the care-plan for the  neck and back pain, studies have shown that a course of chiropractic care was 250 times safer than a course of anti-inflammatory drugs. Research also shows that chiropractic care is more effective, more economical and gives longer lasting results for disorders of the spine than other forms of health care.

Chiropractic care can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more.

In most cases, you do not need a referral from your primary care doctor to see a chiropractor. However, your insurance company may require a referral in order to cover the cost of your solution. 

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, but coverage varies depending on the specific plan. It's important to check with your insurance company to find out what is covered under your plan.

Children are very physically active and experience frequent falls when learning to walk or to ride a bicycle, and various injuries through participation in sports. Symptoms of back and neck pain can often be alleviated with chiropractic care, which is adapted to be very gentle in the case of children. Chiropractors are able to identify and look after health complaints related to children.

Chiropractic techniques that involve gentle techniques to help with the hips and movement of the low back are effective in reducing pregnancy related pains and correcting pelvic misalignment. Mothers undergo a myriad of changes to their body throughout pregnancy, such as weight gain, postural changes, and hormonal adoptions, which all increase stress on the low back. Chiropractors specifically analyse and adjust the sacrum, pelvis, and associated muscles and ligaments allowing for optimal range of movement in the lower back and pelvis, and minimised tension throughout the uterine and pelvic cavities throughout pregnancy. Many expecting mums choose to receive regular chiropractic check-ups and adjustments throughout pregnancy.

During your first chiropractic visit, your chiropractor will conduct a thorough evaluation of your health history, perform a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests such as x-rays. Based on this evaluation, your chiropractor will develop a personalised care-plan.

Chiropractic adjustments are usually pain-free, in fact many people find having a chiropractic adjustment relaxing. Your level of comfort will depend on your injury, the amount of inflammation and the level of tension in the affected area. Most patients experience immediate relief after experiencing a chiropractic adjustment, while others notice mild tenderness and/or tension as their body's alignment and mobility are restored.

The number of chiropractic visits you will need depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Your chiropractor will develop a personalised care-plan that takes into account your individual needs and goals.

A chiropractic adjustment is a very safe, specific, controlled force applied to a joint to restore proper function and mobility. Accidents, falls, stress or overexertion can negatively impact your spine or other joints. These changes impact tissues, the nervous system and other areas of the body. Left unresolved, this can make you more susceptible to chronic problems. Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pain, increase movement and improve performance.

The sound often heard during a chiropractic adjustment is called a cavitation. The sound is caused by a release of gas from the joint fluid, known as 'synovial fluid,' occurring when the joint is adjusted (much like the noise that comes from gas as you open a fizzy drink). Some patients consider an audible pop necessary for their care-plan to be successful, while others prefer their adjustments to be performed without any audible cavitation.

Your first visit to the clinic will include discussing the nature and history of your health, after which a thorough chiropractic, neurological and orthopaedic examination will be performed. If your condition is more complex, x-rays may also be required before the chiropractic solution is provided.

One of the best things about chiropractic care is that it can be extremely versatile. We have a wide range of gentle techniques which are perfect for helping people of all ages improve their mobility, vitality and endurance. Many patients find that gentle mobilisations help to ease the pain of osteoarthritis and joint replacements.

Yes, our chiropractors can help address underlying issues surrounding your back and neck. 

Yes, our chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat spinal problems. In fact, chiropractors treat conditions that affect the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and more. Chiropractic adjustments are often used to help restore proper alignment and function to the spine, which can alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health and wellness. If you are experiencing concerns, it may be helpful to consult with a chiropractor to discuss your solution options.
