Headaches and migraines can make life difficult. The pounding, throbbing pain can make it impossible to think about anything else. Fortunately, your chiropractor has the answers and expertise you need to get relief.
There are many factors which can contribute to headaches and migraines. Certain substances like caffeine found in foods and beverages can contribute to headaches and migraines. Other factors which can cause headaches and migraines include:
- Prolonged exposure to bright light
- Prolonged exposure to loud sounds
- Hormonal fluctuations and imbalances
- Certain medications and supplements
- Allergic responses to substances
When you have a headache or migraine, you might experience:
- Dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pounding headache pain
- Difficulty concentrating
- Extreme light sensitivity
For mild headache or migraine symptoms, it might help to:
- Take over-the-counter pain medications like Tylenol

- Lay down and rest in a dark room until the headache or migraine goes away
For chronic, moderate to severe headache or migraine symptoms, it’s best to seek out help from your chiropractor. Chiropractic treatments for headaches and migraines include:
Therapeutic massage, to relax your face and head, and relieve tension and pressure in your head and sinuses.
Gentle manual adjustment of your cervical spine, shoulders, and back, to help relieve pressure caused by poor posture and body alignment.
Biofeedback training, using devices to measure and monitor the level of tension in your muscles. Biofeedback training helps you learn to relax your muscles and relieve stress and pressure.
Relaxation training, using deep breathing and meditation to help with pain control.
Gentle neck, shoulder, and back stretches to relax tense muscles and relieve pressure which can contribute to migraines.
You don’t have to suffer from headaches and migraines when help and relief are just a phone call away. To learn more about the symptoms and treatment of headaches and migraines, call your chiropractor today.
