Wilbeck Chiropractic conveniently located Clinics take a holistic approach to treating pain at its source. We listen and consult with our patients upfront to understand their unique concerns and work with them to design an effective plan to treat their headaches.

Many of the factors that contribute to chronic headaches and migraines can be treated with chiropractic care. Spinal misalignments in the upper back and neck frequently trigger headaches. Severe tension in the back and neck muscles can also pull the spine out of alignment resulting in headache pain.
