What does headache treatment involve?

1. Confirming the upper neck are responsible for your headache or migraine
2. Determine which of the upper cervical spinal joints are involved
3. Patient education so you understand how the upper cervical spine may be the cause of your headache/migraine
4. Temporary reproduction AND resolution (easing) of headache pain/symptoms using specific techniques.
5. NO cracking or manipulation of your neck – all techniques are very specific but some discomfort is expected.

A 60-minute initial assessment to confirm if your neck is a contributing factor to your headache and/or migraine.

In most cases, for best results, the first 5 sessions are usually done within a 3-week period.
