Possible Causes for Your Headaches and Getting Relief

More on Headaches

Headaches are one of the most common symptoms of a chiropractic-related issue, and the most common cause is neck tension. If you sit at a desk most of the day or if you have poor posture then you may be prone to developing tension headaches. In other cases, some of the cervical spinal discs (the area of the spine that supports the neck) might be out of alignment. When this happens, not enough blood is flowing to that area of the neck and head.

If there is an issue with the alignment of your spine, that means you should meet with our Union chiropractic team. Through the use of spinal manipulation, we are able to apply enough controlled pressure to these areas to reposition the discs and move them back into their proper place, which will increase blood flow to these areas and take additional pressure off muscles, ligaments, and nerves in the area. As a result, any irritation or inflammation will decrease as a result of increased blood flow.

Many patients will experience relief after just one session; however, several sessions may be required to see the full and desired effects. We can also discuss ergonomic habits and other modifications that you can make to your daily routine to improve your posture and reduce the frequency of your headaches.

If you’ve recently had a sports-related injury or car accident and you’re suddenly noticing headaches, neck stiffness, and pain then you may be dealing with whiplash. This is another condition that can easily be treated through different chiropractic options such as spinal manipulation, therapeutic stretching exercises, acupuncture, and massage therapy.
