Some patients report pain behind their eyes, or in a certain region of their head.

How does chiropractic care in Peoria IL help with headaches?

We will give you a thorough examination and if your headache is found to be a chiropractic problem, we treat headaches with adjustments to dysfunctional joints in the thoracic spine and neck. When a joint doesn’t have proper motion it can irritate nerve. With headaches, the nerve irritation can be subtle and hard to tell that it is stemming from a structural problem in the neck.

What should I expect from a Chiropractic adjustment?

Adjustments to dysfunctional joints can be done in a multitude of ways. If the notion of having your neck “cracked” makes you nervous, don’t worry. We use joint mobilization techniques without the cracking and popping often associated with a chiropractic adjustment. If chronic headaches are something you suffer from, Chiropractic care could be a great option for you.
