Headache Relief in Beverley and Hull, Driffield, Nafferton

Many people experience headaches that affect their daily life. At Beverley and Driffield Chiropractic Clinics, we understand how disruptive head pain can be and we’re here to assess whether issues in your muscles, joints or posture may be contributing to your discomfort.

How Your Neck May Be Involved

Sometimes, discomfort felt around the head or neck may be linked to muscle tension, joint stiffness, or posture. Factors such as long periods at a desk, past injuries, or general stress can all place strain on the neck and shoulders. Our chiropractors assess these musculoskeletal aspects to understand what may be influencing your symptoms.

What Chiropractic Care Involves

Chiropractic care focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and management of problems with the joints, muscles, and nerves – particularly those related to the spine.

Treatment plans may include gentle manual techniques (such as mobilisation or manipulation), along with advice on posture, exercise, and lifestyle.

Some people with certain types of neck-related headaches (often called cervicogenic headaches) may find this approach helpful. Current NICE guidance recognises that manual therapy may be considered as part of care for tension-type and cervicogenic headaches when appropriate.

Your Assessment and Care

Every person receives a detailed consultation to determine whether chiropractic care is suitable. If your presentation suggests that your headaches may not be musculoskeletal in nature, we’ll refer you to another healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Encouraging Healthy Movement

Alongside manual techniques, we offer advice to help you manage posture, work ergonomics, and stress – practical steps that may contribute to overall comfort and wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can contribute to headaches?

There are many factors, including stress, posture, neck or shoulder tension, dehydration, hormonal changes, and certain foods. Our chiropractors can assess whether musculoskeletal factors might be involved.

Can chiropractic help with every type of headache?

Not necessarily. Chiropractic care may be suitable for some types of neck-related or tension headaches. If we believe your symptoms have another cause, we’ll advise you to seek appropriate medical care.

What treatments are available?

Chiropractic care uses spinal manipulation and mobilisation. Treatment may include posture advice, exercises, and stress management. Other options are medication, acupuncture, and massage. Combining approaches often works best.

How long does it take to notice changes?

Every person’s experience is different. The number of sessions recommended will depend on your individual assessment, how long you’ve had symptoms, and how your body responds to care. Your chiropractor will review your progress regularly and adjust your plan as needed.

Is chiropractic care safe for headaches?

Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by a registered professional. Mild soreness may occur after treatment, but serious side effects are very rare.

When should I seek help?

If your headaches are frequent, worsening, or affecting your quality of life, consider seeking professional advice. If you experience sudden severe pain, vision changes, or headaches after an injury, contact your GP or emergency services.
