Headaches are not unusual! Many Juneau headache sufferers get headache relief with Juneau chiropractic care. One in 5 new chiropractic patients visit to a chiropractor’s office like Aurora Chiropractic Center because of headache. Headache patients account for a large part of the chiropractic practice, and that is true for Aurora Chiropractic Center. Chiropractors many times identify and participate in interdisciplinary care of headache patients with other healthcare providers.

For the most benefit, a new study reported that 18 SMT visits compared with 1, 6, and 12 visits, is most effective, reducing cervicogenic headache days by half. Compared with slight massage, SMT also produced 3 more cervicogenic headache-free days a month. (2)
