Hi,

Not all headaches originate from the neck, so getting the neck adjusted will not work in every case. An accurate diagnosis of the type and cause of headache by a qualified doctor is essential in treating headaches.

A chiro might help.  In some cases chiropractors do help their patients but chiropractic is an alternative type of medicine.  What happens many times is a chiro will see a patient until all of their insurance benefits are gone and then refer them to a specialist.  It kind of makes me feel like the patients are oin a factory assembly line...eat up all of their money and then spit them out, fixed or not.  I would recommend seeing a medical professional (specialist) like a Neurologist before seeking the help of a chiro.  If, after a diagnosis is rendered, the patient doesn't want to be treated through medicine or physical therapy, the Neurologist can (and will) refer the patient to an acupuncturist and chiro.  You may find that while a chiro makes you feel good, many times it is just a temporary fix.  See a medical professional first.
