Treating Headaches and Migraines with Chiropractic Care

You do not have to live with chronic headaches and migraines! Wichita’s Top Rated Wilbeck Chiropractic Clinic’s Board Certified Doctors will relieve your pain and help you get back to living your life to the fullest. Headache and chronic migraine pain should not be a part of your daily life.

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. Every patient undergoes an initial physical exam and appropriate digital x-rays are taken of the spine to determine where misalignments may be occurring.

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.

Our patients often experience instant relief after a manual adjustment to realign their spine. Wilbeck Chiropractic recommends regular adjustments to maintain your spine’s alignment and prevent recurring headaches and migraines. The caring doctors and staff at Wilbeck Chiropractic assist every patient with making the best holistic care choices to prevent and/or relieve pain and suffering.
