Chiropractor for Neck-Related Headaches in Bangsar, KL

What to discuss with your doctor

• Where the headache occurs and how often it happens
• Whether neck movement brings on the headache
• Any neck pain, new symptoms or changes in your usual pattern

Different headache types need different assessment

• Cervicogenic headache is attributed to a neck disorder; neck pain alone does not establish the cause. [1]
• Migraine and tension-type headache are distinct primary headache disorders, rather than proof of spinal misalignment. [3]
• X-ray findings alone do not prove the cause of a headache. [1]

How We Can Help at Kind Chiropractic

If medical assessment suggests a neck-related component, we can discuss whether a chiropractic assessment is appropriate. Evidence for spinal manipulation for headaches is limited and of very low certainty. We cannot promise relief or a particular result. Neck manipulation has potential serious risks; suspected cervical artery problems require medical assessment. [2, 5]
