Migraine and other recurrent headaches warrant an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. Discuss changing symptoms, medication questions, and personal cardiovascular risk with your physician.

For some people, neck pain or muscle tension may occur alongside a headache. Crossroads Chiropractic can assess an accompanying musculoskeletal concern, but care for neck discomfort does not establish that a migraine has been treated or that stroke or cardiovascular risk has been reduced.

Seek emergency help for a sudden severe headache or symptoms such as weakness, trouble speaking, vision changes, or loss of balance. Call 911 for possible stroke symptoms.
