Pain Caused by Headaches

Headaches often come alone, but they can show up repeatedly, causing discomfort day after day. In other cases, headaches seem to come with a lot of mental or emotional anguish, or perhaps even shoulder and back pain. These are all indicators that chiropractic care may be helpful in treating these frequent headaches.

Causes of Headaches and Migraines

Stress is one of the biggest reasons people experience headaches. When you feel stressed, you might feel that tension rising throughout your body. You might not even feel that tension at first, but it can creep up your neck and cause significantly distracting pain.

There are several other reasons why people might experience frequent headaches and migraines. They include a poor diet, poor postures, food triggers, and other illnesses. Getting to the root of the problem is important because it will help our chiropractor determine which treatment is right for you.

Chiropractic Care Reduces Headache and Migraine Pain

Chiropractic care is non-invasive and reduces inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments are especially beneficial for treating tension. Your adjustment will put your body into proper alignment so that your back does not have to work harder when your body gets tense. Adjustments can also even out your hips or shoulders, places where you might carry tension.

Reducing stress is also part of a regular chiropractic routine. You will learn breathing techniques as well as strategies for relaxation when you are feeling tense. You'll work on recognizing and eliminating triggers for stress in your life as well.

Physical therapy and massage are also both great tools for addressing headaches and migraines. Our chiropractor can massage the area that carries tension so that it leaves your body rather than staying deep within your muscles and causes more pressure to build.
