Can Chiropractic Care Help with Headaches and Migraines?

Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are common ailments that can significantly impact daily life. While over-the-counter medications provide temporary relief, they often don't address the root cause. Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to treating headaches by focusing on spinal health and nervous system function.

How Chiropractic Care Addresses Headaches

Chiropractors assess the spine for misalignments, particularly in the cervical (neck) region, which can contribute to tension and nerve irritation leading to headaches. By performing spinal adjustments, chiropractors aim to:

• Improve spinal alignment: Reducing pressure on nerves that may trigger headaches.

• Enhance blood flow: Promoting better circulation to the brain.

• Alleviate muscle tension: Easing tightness in the neck and shoulders.

Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments can be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of certain types of headaches, including tension headaches and migraines.
