Headaches are not just in your head!  They are very real and can cause a variety of other issues including nausea, poor concentration, and sensitivity to light, among others.  We are continuing our series on chiropractic care and headache relief.  Our previous article covered the importance of making sure your spine is properly aligned and decreasing inflammation in the body. Today, we will look at two more ways your chiropractor may address your headaches.

Reduce Joint and Muscle Tension

Joint and muscle tension, especially in the cervical area, are both culprits that can cause headaches.  Reducing and/or relieving this tension through chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, dry needling and other targeted treatments can alleviate headaches when muscle and/or joint tension is the cause.

Strengthen Muscles

When the spine is not supported, all sorts of problems can arise, including headaches.  A chiropractic back pain doctor can diagnose this and work with you to strengthen the muscles surrounding and supporting your spine.
