Whether you’re dealing with occasional migraines or persistent tension headaches, our team at Stott Chiropractic is dedicated to helping you find relief. Our chiropractic techniques are designed for patients from all walks of life, making our practice ideal for individuals seeking natural alternatives to traditional headache treatments.

Common Types of Headaches We Address

Tension Headaches: Tension headaches are often caused by stress, poor posture, or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Our chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustments and muscle release techniques to relieve tension and reduce the frequency and intensity of tension headaches.
Migraines: Migraines can be severe and accompanied by symptoms such as sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and visual disturbances. Through chiropractic adjustments, dietary advice, and lifestyle modifications, we aim to minimize the frequency and intensity of migraines, allowing you to regain control over your life.
Cluster Headaches: Cluster headaches are intense and occur in cycles, often affecting one side of the head. While their exact cause remains unknown, chiropractic care can help alleviate the symptoms and reduce the duration of cluster headache episodes.
