Frequently Asked Questions

How can chiropractic care help with headaches?

Chiropractic treatment addresses spinal dysfunction and muscle tension that often contribute to headaches, particularly tension and cervicogenic headaches originating from neck problems.

What's the difference between headaches and migraines?

Migraines are typically more severe, often one-sided, and accompanied by nausea and light sensitivity. Headaches are generally less severe and don't usually include these additional symptoms.

How do you diagnose a pinched nerve?

We use orthopedic and neurological tests, movement analysis, and symptom patterns to diagnose pinched nerves. Advanced imaging may be recommended for complex cases.

Can neck problems cause dizziness?

Yes, cervicogenic dizziness can occur when neck dysfunction affects the proprioceptive system that helps maintain balance and spatial orientation.

How long does it take to see improvement in neurological symptoms?

Response times vary depending on the condition and severity. Some patients notice improvement within days, while others may require several weeks of consistent treatment.
