Chiropractic for Headaches
Headaches can be caused by issues originating from the spine. Dr. Ken Alexander, located here in Victoria, BC, uses a number of different techniques including soft tissue mobilization (massage), joint mobilizations, traction and therapeutic exercise. Though headaches can be a complex problem with multiple contributing factors, a holistic approach is effective for both short and long term relief. If you are wondering where to start, you can’t really make a wrong choice by starting with chiropractic and/or massage therapy for headaches.
A headache is a symptom, so treating the underlying condition will usually relieve headaches for the long-term. A symptom is a way your body asks you to change something, be it your lifestyle, posture, diet or external environment. If you ignore your body’s plea for change, your headaches will probably return.
