Frequently Asked Questions

Are there other drug-free ways to reduce headache pain?

In addition to chiropractic care, we may recommend relaxation techniques, yoga, acupuncture, and even a change in diet depending on the cause of your headaches.

Can eliminating certain foods help relieve my headaches?

Quite possibly. For example, Parmesan cheese, dark chocolate, and red wine can cause headaches in many people. If you notice you get a headache after consuming these or other foods and beverages, eliminating them from your diet is recommended.

When should I seek immediate care for a headache?

If you have a headache that is unusually severe or gradually worsens you should seek attention. You also need immediate care if your headache follows a blow to the head or is accompanied by fever, stiff neck, confusion, decreased alertness, or memory.

Other warning signs include visual disturbances, slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or seizures. If you experience any of the above, it’s crucial that you seek immediate medical attention.
