Chiropractic Treatments for Headaches and Migraines

If you suffer from frequent headaches or painful migraines, you don’t have to just live with the pain. At Chesapeake Wellness Center in Chesapeake, VA, our chiropractor provides effective headache and migraine treatment to reduce your discomfort.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches

Headaches are often caused by muscular tension in the neck and shoulders as well as joint dysfunction in the upper spine. Our chiropractor performs gentle adjustments to increase mobility in your cervical and thoracic spine. This helps relieve pressure on surrounding nerves that may be causing headache pain.

We also use massage therapy to loosen up tight muscles that commonly trigger tension headaches. Specific trigger point therapy and stretching help keep muscles from getting knotted up and compressing nerves in your neck.

For migraines, misalignments in the upper neck can irritate nerves and blood vessels that supply the brain. Gentle adjustments combined with massage therapy help decrease this irritation for migraine relief.

Treating the Underlying Cause

At Chesapeake Wellness Center, we don’t just treat your symptoms. Our goal is to find the underlying cause of your headaches or migraines. Tension, poor posture, arthritis, jaw misalignment, sports injuries, and other issues can contribute to painful headaches.

Your chiropractor will take a detailed health history and perform exams to determine factors that may be triggering your headaches. We look at your nutritional status, sleep habits, activity levels, spinal alignment, muscle tension, and more. This allows us to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the root cause.

Additional Headache & Migraine Therapies

Your headache treatment plan may include:

• Spinal adjustments to improve alignment
• Massage therapy to relax muscles
• Physiotherapy exercises to improve strength and flexibility
• Posture retraining and ergonomic advice
• Lifestyle coaching for stress relief and trigger management
