If you or someone you know suffer from persistent migraine or tension headaches, you owe it to yourself to come in for a complimentary consultation and exam. We have found that the majority of people who suffered from spinal misalignments had their headaches relieved or their condition improved through chiropractic care. Of course, not all headaches can be helped. We will tell you if we can help you. If not, we can refer you to another health care professional that can.
