Headache and Migraine Treatment in Winnipeg

If you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. Many Winnipeg residents don’t realize that chiropractic care can provide significant relief from headaches without the need for medication.

Types of Headaches We Treat

Different types of headaches require different approaches. Tension headaches are caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Cervicogenic headaches originate from neck problems and spinal misalignments. Migraines involve neurological components and can be triggered by various factors. We also treat headaches from TMJ disorders and those resulting from car accidents or injuries.

Research shows that spinal manipulation and chiropractic care can be as effective as preventive migraine medications, but without the side effects.

How Chiropractic Helps Headaches

Many headaches stem from tension and misalignments in the neck and upper back. When vertebrae are out of position, they can irritate nerves, restrict blood flow, and cause muscle tension—all contributing to headache pain.

Dr. Arora and Dr. Cook use gentle adjustments to correct spinal misalignments, reduce nerve irritation, improve blood flow, and release muscle tension. We also identify trigger foods, posture problems, and stress factors that may be contributing to your headaches.

Comprehensive Headache Care

Your treatment plan may include specific chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy for neck and shoulder muscles, postural correction exercises, stress management techniques, and nutritional counseling to identify triggers.

Many patients notice a reduction in headache frequency and intensity within the first month of care. Some experience relief after just one or two treatments.

Long-Term Prevention

Beyond treating current headaches, we focus on preventing future episodes. This includes teaching proper posture, especially for desk workers, stretching and strengthening exercises, ergonomic workspace setup, and lifestyle modifications.
