Headaches are usually an extension of upper back, shoulder, and neck muscle tension &amp; spine dysfunction. There are two broad-based categories that headaches fell into to: tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches. The type of headache you have is very important, as this changes the approach that is needed for best results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tension Headaches<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tension headaches are typically described as a tight band around the temples and forehead and are generally associated with upper back &amp; shoulder and<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">neck tension. The important muscles that may cause pain in the temples and forehead are the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, semispinalis capitis, and frontalis. As a general rule, chiropractic adjustments tend to be less effective for tension headaches, as it is predominantly a myofascial problem, but chiropractic adjustments to the upper back and neck can be a great accompaniment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cervicogenic Headaches<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cervicogenic headaches are usually felt on one side of the head and face and associated with one-sided neck pain; the most important muscles are the levator scapula, trapezius, splenius cervicis, semispinalis capitis, and sub suboccipitales. Chiropractic adjustments are typically much more effective with this type of headache, and the tension is more concentrated on one side of the upper neck spinal joints. Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneychiroandmassage.com.au\/one-sided-neck-pain\/\">one-sided neck<\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> pain for more detailed information. These headaches can be quite debilitating and may lead to nausea when they get <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">quite<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> bad; without proper treatment, they may become a chronic problem that can <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">really<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> affect people&#8217;s lives, not just due to the headaches but also the associated neck pain and dysfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is usually not necessary to visit a chiropractor twice a week or regularly for months to have your neck adjusted. Addressing the chronic muscle tension combined with chiropractic treatment usually results in much quicker and longer-lasting results compared to only treating one or the other.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;large&#8221; button_style=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;STOP YOUR HEADACHE TODAY!&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/sydney-chiropractic-and-massage.au5.cliniko.com\/bookings#service&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#e8f6fe&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;60&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;60&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5280","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v28.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Effective Headache Treatment in Sydney | Sydney Chiropractor<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find relief from headaches with expert in Sydney chiropractor.
