Chiropractic Care for Headaches in Cheltenham
Cheltenham Family Chiropractic
Headaches are a common condition that can affect work, family life, and overall wellbeing. Cheltenham Family Chiropractic provides evidence-based chiropractic care for people experiencing headaches, including tension-type headaches and headaches related to neck and postural strain.
Our focus is on identifying and addressing musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing to headache symptoms.
Can a chiropractor help with headaches?
Yes — chiropractors commonly help manage certain types of headaches, particularly those linked to the neck, spine, and posture.
Many headaches are associated with:
- Restricted movement in the cervical spine
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- Poor posture or prolonged desk and screen use
- Joint irritation or mechanical strain
Chiropractic care aims to improve joint mobility, reduce muscular tension, and support normal spinal function, which may help reduce headache frequency and intensity for some people.
Types of headaches chiropractors commonly see at our Cheltenham clinic, we commonly assess patients with:
Tension-type headaches
Often described as a tight, pressure-like sensation around the head, frequently linked to muscle tension and postural strain.
Cervicogenic headaches
Headaches that originate from the neck and refer pain into the head, commonly associated with restricted or irritated cervical joints.
Postural headaches
Headaches associated with prolonged sitting, device use, or sustained forward-head posture.
If your headache presentation is outside the scope of chiropractic care, we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare provider.
