Types of Headaches Chiropractors Can Help With
Many headaches originate from tension, poor posture, or spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care is especially effective for:
- Tension Headaches – These headaches are caused in part by muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and scalp, often due to stress or poor posture. They typically present as a dull, aching pain that wraps around the head.
- Cervicogenic Headaches – These headaches start in the neck due to misalignments, restricted movement, or muscle tension and radiate into the head.
- Migraine Headaches – Migraines involve severe, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances. Chiropractic care can help reduce migraine triggers by improving spinal function and circulation.
How Chiropractic Care Treats Headaches
Dr. Brock takes a comprehensive approach to headache relief at the Abundant Health Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Temple Hills, Maryland, focusing on restoring spinal health and muscle function.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Spinal misalignments, also called subluxations, can cause tension and interfere with proper nerve function, leading to headaches. Chiropractic adjustments, whether by hand or instrument-assisted, gently realign the spine, relieving pressure on nerves and muscles and restoring normal movement.
Soft Tissue Therapies
Tight muscles and trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and upper back can contribute to headaches. Dr. Brock may use soft tissue therapies such as:
- Massage Therapy: Helps relax tense muscles and improve circulation.
- Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Make muscles more resilient to strain and able to properly support joints.
