Headaches and Migraines in Jupiter, FL
Not all headaches are the same, and the difference matters.
About Headaches & Migraines
Understanding Headaches & Migraines
Headaches come in distinct types. Tension-type headache is usually a steady band-like pressure on both sides. Cervicogenic headache starts in the neck and refers into the head, often on one side, and tends to be provoked by neck position or movement. Migraine is a neurological condition, typically one-sided and throbbing, often with nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
Manual and manipulative care is most relevant to headaches with a neck component. Migraine is managed differently and usually involves a medical provider.
Headaches are listed among the areas Dr. Newmark's Jupiter practice focuses on.

How we help
Headaches & Migraines at our Jupiter office
The examination covers your history and symptoms plus range of motion, muscle strength and more through the neck and upper back, which is where a cervicogenic pattern shows itself. The report of findings explains what was found, what type of headache the picture fits, and whether chiropractic care is the right avenue.
Where the pattern points to migraine or another medical cause, she will say so rather than treat around it.
When to seek medical care first
A sudden severe headache unlike any before, headache with fever and a stiff neck, with weakness, confusion, slurred speech or vision loss, or one following a head injury is an emergency. Seek immediate medical care.

What our patients say
In our patients' own words
A few of the reviews shared by people treated at our Jupiter office.
Dr. Newmark has the ability to truly feel what her patients are experiencing and a keen understanding of how to treat each one individually. She is a true healer and has really helped me overcome back challenges, I highly recommend her.
Dr. Paula Newmark is amazing! Previous chiropractors made me "sore" from a visit. I have been rear ended three times in 7 years and I only go when needed. She isn't one of those "come every week" type. She is come when you need me. I can't thank her enough for her caring and talent.
My treatment with Dr Newmark has had terrific results. Dr Newmark has helped me get back to a normal life of golfing and doing things I haven't done in years.
Dr Newmark is a true partner on your journey to better chiropractic health.
She is an excellent communicator, and she has truly helped me with my chiropractic needs/health.
I refer to her time and time again to anyone who will listen to me!
