Headache relief in Haverhill, MA
Drug-free care for the recurring headaches that start in your neck, instead of another bottle of pills that only mutes them.
Your headache may not start in your head
The joints and muscles of the upper neck share nerve pathways with the head. When they're irritated, by posture, stress, screens, or an old injury, they refer pain upward, and you feel it as a headache.
That's why headaches that keep coming back deserve more than a painkiller-and-dark-room routine. Dr. Mark examines your neck, posture, and history to find out whether that referral pattern is driving your headaches, then treats the source with gentle, research-based care.
- Thorough doctor-performed examination first
- Gentle care aimed at the source, not the symptom
- An honest answer if your headaches need a different doctor
Headache questions, answered
Can a chiropractor really help headaches?
Many recurring headaches start in the joints and muscles of the neck. When an examination finds that pattern, treating the neck often reduces how frequent and severe the headaches are, without adding more medication.
How do I know if my headaches come from my neck?
Clues include headaches that start at the base of the skull, pair with neck stiffness, or follow long hours at a desk or the wheel. Dr. Mark's examination is designed to find out; if your headaches need a different kind of doctor, he will tell you.
What about migraines?
Some migraine sufferers find their episodes are triggered or worsened by neck problems. Care focuses on reducing those triggers; Dr. Mark will be honest about what chiropractic can and cannot do for your specific case.
Small changes, fewer headaches
Care doesn't stop at the table. Dr. Mark helps you identify the "blind spots" feeding your headaches, like desk setup, sleep position, and stress habits, and gives you practical changes plus home exercises so improvement holds between visits.
