Headache Treatment in Woodstock
Chiropractic Care to Relieve Headaches Naturally
Headaches affect most people at some point — but persistent headaches don’t have to be a normal part of life.
Headaches can vary in intensity, frequency, and duration. Many are linked to tension in the muscles and joints of the neck, often caused by posture, stress, or past injuries. The most common types include cervicogenic headaches, tension headaches, and migraines.
At The Woodstock Chiropractor, we aim to find the underlying cause of your headaches and provide gentle, effective care. Our goal is to reduce pain, improve neck function, and help you feel more comfortable day to day.
Common Types & Symptoms of Headaches
Cervicogenic Headaches – referred pain from the neck, often felt on one side and radiating above the eye.
Tension Headaches – a tight, pressing pain on both sides of the head, often linked to stress or poor posture.
Migraines – pulsating pain, sometimes with aura symptoms such as nausea, visual disturbances, or pins and needles.
Neck Stiffness – tightness or discomfort in the neck that may trigger headaches.
Postural Triggers – headaches linked to poor desk setup or long hours on screens.
Whiplash-Related Pain – headaches following an accident or sudden injury.
