Headaches & Migraines

Headaches are one of the most common issues plaguing the population today. So common in fact that many people feel they are just a normal part of life and resign themselves to living in pain.

​

According to studies performed by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 52% of the world's population suffer from headaches within a given year, including 14% with migraines, 26% with tension-type headaches, and about 5% that suffer from headaches 15 or more days a month.1

​

Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines

Health conditions and lifestyle play a major role in dealing with ongoing headaches and migraines. Common causes for headaches and migraines include:

​

  • Lack of sleep

  • Dehydration

  • Stress

  • Allergies

  • Aphthous ulcers (canker sores)

  • Cervical displacement or subluxation

  • Chemical irritants or sensitivities in the environment, foods, or medications

  • Poor posture

  • Trauma to the head, neck, face, eyes, sinuses, jaw or teeth

  • Drinking too much alcohol

  • Heavy eating

  • Stress

​

Some migraine causes can be treated through lifestyle changes, while others require medical intervention. In most cases, a Chiropractor can help you identify the primary cause of your headaches or migraines and build a customized treatment plan to help you eliminate your headaches and migraines completely.

How can chiropractic care help me?

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective solution that can minimize headaches by diagnosing and treating the root cause of the problem. In fact, a 2016 study found that 6 to 8 sessions of cervical and upper thoracic spine adjustments were more effective than movement and exercise for relieving pain in people with chronic headaches.2

​

This is done by approaching headaches with the entire body in mind. For example, Cervicogenic headaches are normally caused by neck issues, however, pain is not normally felt in the neck therefore they may be misdiagnosed as an issue with the head itself.

​

Our doctors’ whole-body approach to healing gets to the root cause by investigating the entire body. Many of our patients have experienced the following benefits.

Chiropractic Benefits for Neck Pain Include:

  • Reduction in severity and frequency of headaches

  • Restoration of soft tissue and nerve signals to allow the body to heal naturally

  • Alleviate stress on the nervous system

  • Improve posture

  • Strengthen muscles and tissue surrounding the neck to better support the head

  • Reduce symptoms of vertigo i.e., dizziness

​
