Depending on the frequency of your headaches or migraines and the severity of your symptoms, a skilled chiropractor may be able to use a variety of techniques to relieve pain and reduce the number of headaches or migraines you have. 

Spinal misalignment, especially in the cervical spine, can cause migraines and other types of headaches by irritating some of the nerves that supply the head, neck, and face. A chiropractor helps with spinal misalignment by performing adjustments to reduce inflammation.

Massage is typically one of the techniques offered by chiropractors, so one isn't better than the other. They're often used together to relieve headache pain and/or prevent migraine attacks from occurring.

Acupuncture is highly effective for migraines and other types of headaches. In a systematic review of nearly two dozen clinical trials, researchers discovered that 59% of individuals receiving acupuncture reported that the treatment cut the number of migraines they had by at least half. The review also showed that acupuncture reduces migraine frequency better than prescription medications used to prevent migraine symptoms.

You may be surprised to learn that most chiropractors practice differently based on their certifications and studies. We understand that the combination of joint and muscle manipulation, rehabilitation, and therapeutic exercises offers our patients the best recovery.

Our office does accept insurance. Most insurance offers some sort of coverage for our services. It is best to give our office a call at (718) 222-9700 to verify your specific coverage over the phone. We offer cash payment plans if needed.

During your first office visit, you will receive an exam. This includes a review of your new patient paperwork, x-rays and a report of findings. During your report of findings, we will thoroughly review your case, answer any questions you have, and provide our recommended care plan to resolve the root cause of your problem.

Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care:

• Phase 1 Relief Care: If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
• Phase 2 Corrective & Restorative Care: During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.‍
• Phase 3 Wellness Care: Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
