Headache Treatment

Choose Our Headache Chiropractors for Lasting Relief

Headaches are among the most widely-mentioned medical complaints, affecting millions of people worldwide. While many people’s headaches can be managed with over-the-counter medications, these treatments often only mask the symptoms without addressing the underlying causes. At 100% Chiropractic, we specialize in providing effective, drug-free care for headaches and migraines by focusing on spinal alignment, posture correction, and nervous system health. Our experienced headache chiropractors take a holistic approach to headache relief, offering non-invasive solutions to alleviate both tension headaches and migraines.

Understanding the Different Types of Headaches

Headaches come in various forms, each with unique causes, symptoms, and triggers. Chiropractic care at 100% Chiropractic can provide relief for many types of headaches, especially those related to tension, muscle tightness, and nervous system issues. Some of the most common types of headaches that chiropractic care can help alleviate include:

Common Symptoms of Headaches:

Tension headaches are far and beyond the most common type of headache and are often caused by stress, poor posture, or muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders. These headaches typically manifest as a dull, aching pain or general pressure around the forehead, temples, or back of the head.

Migraines are a significantly more severe form of headache, often accompanied by throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound. For most individuals, migraines can last for hours or even days, significantly affecting day-to-day activities and quality of life. Many people with migraines experience recurring episodes triggered by factors such as heightened stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, or sensory stimuli.

Cluster headaches are less common but extremely painful. They typically occur in cycles, with frequent episodes over weeks or months, followed by sporadic periods of remission. Cluster headaches often cause intense, burning pain around one eye or on one side of the head.

Cervicogenic headaches originate from issues in the neck, such as misaligned vertebrae, muscle tension, or nerve compression. These headaches often cause pain that starts at the base of an individual’s skull and radiates to the front of the head. Chiropractic care is particularly effective in treating cervicogenic headaches by addressing the underlying neck problems.

Regardless of the type of headache you’re experiencing, our headache chiropractors can help!

Common Causes of Headaches

Headaches can have a variety of causes, ranging from physical tension to environmental factors. Some of the most common causes of headaches that chiropractic care can address include:

  • Spinal Misalignments: Misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck (cervical spine), can place pressure on nerves and muscles, leading to headaches.
  • Muscle Tension: Tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can contribute to tension headaches, especially if poor posture or prolonged sitting is involved.
  • Nerve Irritation: Irritation of the nerves in the upper spine can trigger headaches, especially cervicogenic headaches.
  • Poor Posture: Slouching or sitting for long periods with improper posture can strain neck muscles as well as those in the upper back, leading to headaches.
  • Stress: Emotional or physical stress can tighten muscles and trigger tension headaches.
  • Jaw Issues: Problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause jaw pain, which often radiates to the head and causes headaches.

How a Headache Chiropractor Can Help

Here are a few of the ways our chiropractic care can help relieve headaches:

Chiropractic adjustments (spinal manipulations) are at the core of headache treatment. Misalignments in the cervical spine (neck) can place pressure on surrounding nerves and muscles, leading to headaches. By gently realigning the vertebrae, our chiropractors can relieve this pressure, improve nerve function, and reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Many headaches are caused by poor posture, particularly if you spend long hours sitting at a desk or looking down at a phone or computer screen. Poor posture can quickly strain the muscles in the neck and upper back, leading to tension headaches. Our chiropractors assess your posture and recommend adjustments to your daily habits and workstation setup to reduce strain on your neck and prevent headaches.

In addition to effective spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy can help relieve general muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Excessively tight muscles in these areas can contribute to tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches.

During your initial consultation with 100% Chiropractic, your headache chiropractor will determine which of our various services will best resolve your headache or migraine troubles.
