Headache & Migraines Treatment in Ottawa

Headaches and migraines can manifest in many ways, from mild discomfort to severe, disabling pain. Common symptoms include:

• Throbbing or pulsating pain (often on one side of the head)

• Sensitivity to light and sound

• Nausea or vomiting

• Tension or pressure around the forehead or neck
• Aura symptoms such as visual disturbances
• Fatigue or brain fog

If these symptoms sound familiar, you don’t have to endure them alone. Chiropractic care and acupuncture offer safe, drug-free alternatives that treat more than just the symptoms.

The causes of headaches and migraines vary widely, but common culprits include:

1. Muscle tension in the neck or upper back
2. Poor posture or prolonged screen time
3. Stress or anxiety
4. Dietary triggers, such as caffeine or alcohol
5. Hormonal changes
6. Nervous system imbalances
