Headache Basics

There are many types of headaches, and nearly everyone suffers from a type of headache at least a few times in their lives. In fact, many Americans suffer migraine headaches.

Headaches can be caused by many things. Tension or stress, subluxation, and sinus issues are a few common causes that can be treated by a chiropractor.

Physiotherapy in Chiropractic Care

Physiotherapy can be a component of chiropractic care. We will work to find the root of the problem and create a comprehensive treatment plan. This can include chiropractic adjustment and lifestyle changes.

Diagnosing Headaches

The first step of headache treatment is determining the cause and type of headache you are experiencing. A chiropractor on our team will perform a physical exam, and ask you questions about your headaches. We may also perform tests or order tests to confirm the cause.

Subluxation and Chiropractic Adjustments

Subluxations can cause of headaches. They can occur due to misalignments in the spine or the cervical vertebrae of the neck. This causes muscle tension and pressure on the nerves. These factors may then trigger headaches.

Chiropractic adjustment corrects these misalignments. This can relieve muscle tension, back or neck pain, and headaches. You may also notice better range of motion after an adjustment.

Lifestyle Factors

One reason why chiropractic care for headache relief can be effective is that chiropractors focus on the whole person. For example, your headaches may be caused by muscle tension.

A chiropractor on our team will go a step further than just treating the symptoms. What's causing the muscle tension? Are you sitting at your desk in the wrong position? Is stress from your daily life the culprit? Perhaps you don't get enough sleep, which can lead to a range of problems.

Once we identify the lifestyle issues that are problematic, we will help you plan to change them.
