Headaches & Migraines

Headaches and migraines can severely affect your ability to focus and enjoy life. According to recent research, 9% of men and 12% of women in the U.S. experience at least 1-2 headache episodes per month, while more than 4% suffer from frequent headaches, defined as occurring at least 180 days a year. These painful conditions are often linked to tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, or spinal misalignments.

Scientists have identified over 300 causes for headaches, including irritation or injury to pain-sensitive structures such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Fortunately, only a handful of causes are responsible for most headaches. The most common types include cervicogenic headaches (originating from neck issues), muscle-tension headaches (resulting from neck and upper back spasms), post-traumatic headaches (following head or neck trauma), migraines, and cluster headaches.

Chiropractic care can offer effective, long-lasting relief by addressing the underlying causes of headaches rather than simply masking the symptoms. Spinal adjustments, combined with lifestyle recommendations, help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines. Doctors of chiropractic successfully help thousands of individuals each day obtain safe, effective, long-term relief, as many headaches have a spinal, muscular, or habitual component. Surveys show that 10-25% of patients seek chiropractic care specifically for headache relief.

Our treatments consist of only  safe, natural, and noninvasive therapies that focus on correcting the cause of headaches, and not simply the short-term masking of symptoms.
