Tell the chiropractor
Chiropractic adjustments can actually frequently relieve headaches. But it is true that sometimes they cause a headache. The headache should be transient but if becomes intense or more constant you may need to have an evaluation including brain and neck MRI study.
Deep tissue massage has been known to cause headaches. Therefore an adjustment possibly could do the same thing.
