Brandywine Hundred headaches have a commute attached. Concord Pike, Naamans, Marsh Road, then a laptop in Greenville or Hockessin. The pain sits at the base of the skull, often one side, often by midafternoon. People call it stress. The neck is usually doing more of the work than the inbox.
At 2106 Silverside Road I examine rotation, the upper ribs, and whether pressure at the skull base reproduces the headache you already know. If it does, that is a mechanical finding we can treat. If it does not, I am not going to rename a migraine as a bone out of place.
Claymont and Arden patients who already use this corridor should keep the file here. A Newark chart looks fine on a map until I-95 is stopped and you skip the visit that would have mattered.
Call (302) 543-5679. Bring the medication list and the hour the headache usually starts. That hour is often the drive, not the meeting.

FAQ
Can a chiropractor treat migraines?
We examine the neck and the triggers we can reproduce. We do not replace migraine medication. Bring the list. Do not stop a prescription because a clinic website sounded confident.
When is a headache an emergency?
The worst headache of your life, a headache with fever and a stiff neck, fainting, or a new neurologic sign belongs in the emergency department. A vice that starts on Naamans Road and eases after you walk is the mechanical version.
I am pregnant and the headache changed. Where do I go?
Tell your obstetric clinician the same day if the headache is new and severe. For a mechanical neck headache in pregnancy, Wilmington can examine you, and new Webster files for Kent County belong with Dr. Leary in Dover.
Is this office open Saturday?
