Are Chiropractors Able To Treat Headaches?
If over the counter or prescription painkillers are no longer effectively treating your headaches or migraines, it might be time to consider chiropractic care. Chiropractic headache treatment addresses the underlying cause of your headaches or migraines, and offers safe, all-natural, and drug-free headache relief.
At Back to Health Chiropractic and Massage, our chiropractors can help you better understand the connection between your health, lifestyle, and headaches to determine what is triggering your headaches. We will design a headache treatment plan that relieves symptoms, improves your overall health, and helps you avoid future headaches. Here is a look at our options for chiropractic headache treatment in Vancouver, WA, and the types of headaches we treat.
Types of Headaches We Treat
We can help you find relief from tension headaches, sinus headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines. Tension headaches are often caused by poor posture, stress, and anxiety. Cervicogenic headaches are caused by a neck injury or misalignment in the cervical spine. Sinus headaches are caused by exposure to allergens or bacteria and stuffy or clogged sinus passages. Migraines can be triggered by diet, environment, stress, fatigue, illness, medication, and other biological and environmental factors.
The Most Effective Chiropractic Headache Treatments
At Back to Health Chiropractic and Massage, we use a combination of chiropractic therapies to treat headaches and reduce their frequency. We address the underlying cause of your headaches or migraines, or their trigger, to give you the best chance of lasting headache relief. Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy can address postural problems and spinal misalignment and relieve pain, tension, and inflammation. Chiropractic massage therapy can relieve pain, tension, and stress and promote the release of hormones and chemicals that enhance feelings of well-being and calm.
Preventing Future Headaches
While there is no cure for headaches or migraines, you can make some key lifestyle changes to reduce the frequency of your headaches or avoid your headache triggers. We will ask you questions about your diet, exercise habits, sleep habits, home and work environment, and lifestyle to better understand your headache triggers. We will then recommend lifestyle changes that improve your overall health and wellness and reduce your risk of headaches, such as:
- Avoiding alcohol and tobacco
- Improving your sleep environment or sleep habits
- Drinking more water
- Getting some exercise every day
- Following an anti-inflammatory diet
- Avoiding foods that you are sensitive to
- Treating allergies and sinus issues
- Avoiding environmental stimuli like loud noises, bright lights, and strong odors
- Managing stress through journaling, deep breathing, yoga, therapeutic stretching, or mindfulness
- Making your workplace more ergonomic
