How Chiropractic Can Help with Headaches & Migraines

Headaches and migraines can be debilitating, affecting your daily life, work productivity, and overall well-being. While painkillers offer temporary relief, they often don’t address the root cause of the problem. Chiropractic care provides a natural, drug-free approach to managing and preventing headaches by targeting spinal alignment, joint mobility, posture, and muscle tension.

🔹 Types of Headaches Chiropractic Care Can Help

1. Tension Headaches

🔹 Caused by muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
🔹 Often triggered by poor posture, stress, or long hours at a desk.
🔹 Chiropractic adjustments help relieve muscle tightness and improve posture.

2. Migraines

🔹 More severe than typical headaches, often combined with other symptoms such as nausea, light sensitivity, or aura.
🔹 May be linked to nerve irritation, blood flow issues, or spinal misalignment.
🔹 Chiropractic care may reduce migraine frequency by improving spinal function.

3. Cervicogenic Headaches

🔹 Originates from issues in the neck (cervical spine joints).
🔹 Typically worsens with neck movement and poor posture. It may be hard for you to turn your head.
🔹 Spinal adjustments and muscle therapy help relieve pressure on the joint.
