HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Most of us have experienced a headache in our lifetime, for some it can be just a passing symptom from a heavy night of drinking or being dehydrated. However, for many, headaches can be a debilitating part of everyday life that makes normal tasks difficult to complete and is a common cause for time off work. We regularly see patients suffering with headaches and migraines at Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic and are ready to help you on your journey towards a pain free life.

What Causes Migraines and Headaches?
There are many reasons why someone might get headaches, varying from simple, easy to fix, triggers to very serious conditions. It is our role as Chiropractors to ask the right questions and conduct the right tests to be able to tell the difference between the two.
Most headaches that we see at Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic are what we call tension type headaches. These come from tight muscles in the neck or jaw that refer pain up to different parts of the head. Some muscles refer to just behind the eye, others to the back or top of the head. Reducing the muscle tension and addressing the underlying issue should relieve these headaches. From experience, these generally improve very quickly if we can accurately treat the underlying cause.
Migraine symptoms can be more wide reaching than just pain in the head and can include visual field changes, balance issues or tingling. These symptoms are what is known as an “aura” and usually start before the onset of the headache. However, the absence of an aura doesn’t necessarily mean that you aren’t having a migraine.
There can be more serious reasons why someone might experience headache symptoms, such as a stroke or brain tumour. These are rare and should be spotted by our team of expert Chiropractors by asking the right questions about your symptoms and conducting cranial nerve testing to assess how well your brain is functioning.

The Role of Chiropractic in Treating Headaches and Migraines
Our Chiropractors will conduct a full assessment to understand what the cause of your headaches might be and how we will be able to fix them. As mentioned above, ruling out more serious diagnoses is the first priority and then we can start to think about what the underlying factors and triggers might be for the symptoms.
Our Chiropractors may use spinal manipulation, mobilisation, stretching and soft tissue work to reduce the tension on the neck and surrounding tissues to help resolve your symptoms and provide migraine relief. Our goal is to provide migraine treatment to get our patients to live a migraine and headache free life without the need for any medication or surgery.
