We understand it is hard to get through the day when you have neck pain. That’s why we encourage you to contact Mindarie Chiropractic Centre. We can book you in as soon as possible, and if need be our team (link to the Chiros) can give you some suggestions to manage the pain until you can come to the appointment.
Adjustments realign the spine to relieve the tension, and may also help improve blood flow and reduce inflammation, which may help relieve the headache.
Research shows chiropractic care may reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, including migraines.
