If you suffer from recurring headaches or migraines, you know how debilitating they can be. These conditions can disrupt your work, relationships, and quality of life, leaving you searching for effective relief. While medication may provide temporary comfort, many people find lasting solutions through chiropractic care that addresses the underlying causes of their pain.
At Adjusted, we specialise in identifying and treating the musculoskeletal factors that contribute to headaches and migraines, offering a natural, drug-free approach to managing your symptoms.
Understanding Headaches and Migraines
Types of Headaches We Treat
Tension Headaches The most common type, often described as a tight band around the head. These are frequently caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, and stress.
Cervicogenic Headaches Headaches that originate from issues in the neck and spine. Pain typically starts at the base of the skull and radiates forward, often affecting one side of the head.
Migraines Intense, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. While migraines have various triggers, spinal misalignment and muscle tension can be contributing factors.
Cluster Headaches Severe headaches that occur in cyclical patterns or clusters, often affecting one side of the head around the eye.
Common Causes and Triggers
- Spinal misalignment in the neck (cervical spine)
- Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
- Poor posture, especially from prolonged computer or phone use
- Stress and tension causing muscle tightness
- Joint dysfunction in the cervical spine
- Nerve irritation from subluxations
- Whiplash or previous neck injuries
- Jaw problems (TMJ dysfunction)
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Spinal Adjustments
Gentle, targeted adjustments to the cervical spine can restore proper alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and improve blood flow. This can significantly decrease the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Muscle Tension Release
We use soft tissue techniques to release tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back that contribute to headache pain. This includes trigger point therapy and myofascial release.
Posture Correction
Poor posture is a major contributor to tension headaches. We assess your posture and provide corrective exercises and ergonomic advice to address the root cause of your pain.
Lifestyle and Nutritional Guidance
We help you identify potential triggers and provide recommendations on stress management, hydration, sleep positions, and dietary factors that may be contributing to your headaches.
Preventative Care
Regular chiropractic maintenance can help prevent headaches before they start by maintaining proper spinal alignment and reducing muscle tension.
