Headaches and migraines can range from mild, nagging discomfort to intense, debilitating pain. Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines are commonly reported and may originate from muscle tension, nerve misalignments, dehydration, poor posture, or stress. Migraines often include throbbing, one-sided pain, noise or light sensitivity, and sometimes nausea or visual disturbances.
Chiropractic care targets the underlying factors behind many headaches, particularly those related to muscle tension, cervical spine misalignments, or nerve irritation. Adjustments, lifestyle counseling, hydration, and postural correction can help reduce headache frequency, severity, and reliance on medication, providing a path toward sustainable, drug-free relief.
