Pain Relief

Do you suffer from migraines and tension headaches? No matter how frequent or infrequent, migraines and tension headaches are painful. Muscle contractions in the head or neck cause migraines and tension headaches. These uncomfortable aches can be triggered by anything from a bright screen, loud music or lack of food and water, but there is a natural and drug-free way to ease them. Learn more about what causes migraines and how chiropractic can provide you with headache relief.

WHAT CAUSES MIGRAINES AND TENSION HEADACHES?

Migraines are severe headaches that cause intense pain, nausea, and sensitivity to stimuli in the environment. The pain associated with migraines is often chronic, lasting anywhere from a few hours to a few days. The causes of migraines are not fully understood, but genetics and environmental factors appear to play a role. A few migraine triggers include stress, hormonal changes, and lack of sleep.

The most common type of headache is a tension headache, which appears as a pain anywhere in the head, scalp, or neck. The combination of stress and back or neck strain often leads to tension headaches. Chiropractic care has been proven to alleviate these headaches.

HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC CARE PROVIDE HEADACHE RELIEF?

Migraine and tension headaches can be treated effectively through chiropractic care. The benefits of routine chiropractic care for migraine sufferers and tension headache sufferers include a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive alternative to prescription medications and over-the-counter pain medications (OTCs), which are typically prescribed to patients to manage their pain.

Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive, non-addictive treatment. In an effort to reduce inflammation and improve both the function of the affected joint and the nervous system, chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body can better manage migraines and tension headaches through increased joint mobility, improved nervous system function, and spinal health.

There are a number of health benefits that chiropractic adjustments can provide to patients who suffer from migraines and tension headaches:

  • Reducing pain and discomfort
  • Decreasing inflammation
  • Relieving stress and tension
  • Improving physical function
