Can Chiropractic Care Help Treat Migraines and Headaches?

There are many reasons why a person might have migraines or headaches. Some of these stem from a misalignment of the spine. When this happens, the brain can’t transmit signals to the rest of the body effectively. It also causes a strain on the muscles and other structures in the spine. This can put stress on the base of the skull.

Chiropractic care involves the chiropractor making gentle adjustments to the spine that can help to alleviate the pressure that’s on the spine and other structures. This can take away the pressure on the base of the skull. It can also help to prevent problems with the neck that can lead to headaches and migraines.

When you come into our office, the chiropractor will evaluate the situation to determine a treatment plan. Chiropractic adjustments are cumulative, so it will take more than one appointment for you to feel optimal relief. Once your spine is in proper alignment, you will begin maintenance appointments to keep the spine in place and minimize the risk of serious headaches or migraines in the future.

What Else Can You Do When You Have a Headache or Migraine?

There are often supplemental therapies offered to help treat headaches and migraine pain. These include things like strengthening exercises and stretches to help the muscles in the back, neck, and shoulders. Temperature therapy, which involves hot and cold packs, may also be part of the treatment plan. Additionally, the chiropractor may discuss how a proper posture can help you to avoid future headaches and migraines.
