For a long time, people suffering from headaches and migraine symptoms have been seeking Chiropractic care. 

Headaches and migraine may be associated with problems in the nervous system that can have ill effects on your health. Nerve irritation is thought to be responsible for up to 95% of headaches, the result or muscle tension and upper neck dysfunction.

Apart from pain, other signs of brain or brainstem imbalances that may be seen in headaches sufferers include increased sensitivity to light, sound or touch, numbness or altered sensations in the face or limbs, uneven pupil size, uneven skin temperature on the head and dizziness.

At McKenzie Chiropractic Carlton, we understand the mechanisms of the numerous headache types and their causes, and will thoroughly assess each patient with a neurological and chiropractic examination.

Headaches can also be associated with fluctuations in a person's mood, personality, cognitive approach and behavioural style, affecting not only the individual who suffers from the headache but also they family and friends and them.

Your chiropractor in Melbourne, Dr Bayden McKenzie, will thoroughly assess the state of the spine and nervous system and implement a management plan that typically involves chiropractic adjustments, muscle stretching, postural advice, nutritional support and home exercises to prevent recurrence. Chiropractic and rehabilitative care focusing on imbalances in your spine may provide more lasting results for headaches sufferers and reduce the need to rely on medication.

Due to the large number of headache types and causes, it is always advised to seek the opinion of a health professional such as a Chiropractor to rule out headaches that are from a pathological origin or infection.
