Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are characterized by a dull, painful pressure around the head or behind the eyes. Triggers might include stress and poor posture. These headaches may respond well to chiropractic adjustments, which address misalignments in the spine and neck to help reduce muscle tension and improve blood flow.

Migraines

Migraine headaches are another type of headache that can be accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity. They can have a variety of triggers as well as different types of symptoms. While the exact cause remains unknown, chiropractic care may help manage migraines by:

•             Seeking to improve nerve function: Misalignments in the spine can affect nerve communication, potentially contributing to migraines. Chiropractic adjustments aim to help restore proper nerve function, potentially reducing migraine frequency and severity.

•             Seeking to reduce inflammation: Chiropractic care can help reduce the inflammatory response in the body, potentially benefiting individuals with migraines triggered by inflammation.

•             Seeking to enhance circulation: Adjustments may help improve blood flow to the head and neck, potentially reducing migraine-related pain and symptoms.

Cervicogenic Headaches

Originating from the neck, cervicogenic headaches typically manifest as a dull ache radiating from the base of the skull that travels up the side of the head. These headaches can stem from issues like whiplash, poor posture, or arthritis in the neck joints.  The good news is that chiropractic adjustments focused on the cervical spine can help address these headaches by correcting underlying misalignments and potentially reducing pain signals.

It's important to note that while chiropractic care may benefit many individuals with headaches and migraines, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Consulting a chiropractor near you is important for a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan.
