Headache and Migraine Treatment & Relief
What Causes Headaches and Migraines?
Headaches and migraines can stem from various causes, often involving musculoskeletal and neurological triggers. Understanding the source allows for precise treatment that addresses the problem effectively. Headaches and migraines are usually symptoms of another underlying condition. Dr. Brokstein will help you understand why your headaches occur and try to get you relief quickly through chiropractic care.
Common underlying issues headaches or migraines stem from originally:
- Muscle tension and tightness in the neck and upper back
- Cervical spine misalignments causing nerve irritation
- Stress and emotional tension contribute to muscle contraction
- Poor posture leading to strain on the head and neck structures
- Hormonal fluctuations influencing migraine patterns
- Dietary triggers such as caffeine, alcohol, and certain foods
- Sleep disturbances and irregular schedules
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Headaches and Migraines
Chiropractic care focuses on spinal adjustments that restore proper alignment and relieve pressure on nerves contributing to head pain. Combined with soft tissue therapy and lifestyle coaching, this approach tackles tension and inflammation effectively.
- Gentle cervical spine adjustments to correct misalignments
- Postural retraining for sustainable neck and head positioning
- Stress management strategies integrated into care
- Nutritional and hydration guidance to avoid triggers
Many patients report a significant decrease in headache intensity and frequency after beginning chiropractic care.
