Headaches

Hello! When it comes to headaches linked to issues in the neck, known as cervicogenic headaches, manual therapy targeted at the neck can potentially offer relief. Research indicates this could be beneficial [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7], and there are also specific case studies supporting these findings [8] [9]. It’s encouraging to see such evidence supporting the effectiveness of manual therapy in addressing these types of headaches.

Determining the exact number of treatments needed for optimal benefit can vary, but research suggests that 9-12 sessions may be beneficial [10]. Based on our clinic’s experience, patients often start feeling improvement before reaching this point.

 

It’s important to note that not all headaches stem from neck issues, and distinguishing between headache types, including migraines, can be challenging.

 

During our assessment of patients with headaches, we not only examine the neck but also evaluate factors like blood pressure and vascular health. A neurological assessment is also conducted to rule out any underlying medical causes of their headaches.

This clinic has literally changed my life. I originally went there because I could hardly turn my head: reversing the car was really difficult! The clinic fixed my problem and I now go regularly to keep things in good shape. The annual check is also very useful and it is good to get the reassurance that there isn't much wrong despite my advancing years. I have no hesitation in recommending this clinic to anyone.

I have been a patient of Andrews for more than 15 years. He is always very friendly and welcoming, he takes time to ask you how you are and listens to your concerns. His holistic approach including acupuncture, massage and manipulation if necessary have certainly helped to keep me fit and active.

We have been going to Abingdon and Andrew for 30 years. He is always so professional and helpful. He diagnosed an issue via ultrasound for me and set me in the right direction for help. Would totally recommend this clinic and the fantastic staff.

I live in Malaysia but visit Abingdon every year. I had heard very good things about the Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic but I didn't realise how true they were until I had my first appointment with Andrew today! I was amazed at how professional and at the same time how friendly he is. The appointment didn't feel hurried and he took a wholistic approach. He discovered something about me in a few minutes that I hadn't known in my 61 years!! So wherever in the world you are from, if you're ever near Abingdon and need a chiropractor, look no further than the Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic. I thoroughly recommend it!
