Chiropractic Care and Migraines

Migraines are a complex neurological condition that can affect people differently. Symptoms, frequency and severity vary from person to person, and management often involves a combination of approaches based on an individual's health history and clinical needs.

Some people choose to include chiropractic care as part of their overall healthcare plan. During a consultation, a chiropractor will discuss your symptoms, medical history and any previous assessments before determining whether chiropractic care may be appropriate or whether referral to another healthcare professional is recommended.

If chiropractic care is considered suitable, your practitioner will explain the proposed care, expected process, potential benefits, relevant risks and available alternatives so you can make an informed decision.

People experiencing new, severe or changing headaches should seek prompt medical assessment to determine the underlying cause.
