Headaches and migraines can strike unexpectedly, bringing your day to a screeching halt. If you find yourself popping over-the-counter pain relievers on a regular basis, you're not alone. But what you might not know is that the very medications you rely on for relief can actually be contributing to the problem.
The Consequences of Using Medication To Treat Headaches
Persistent, daily use of over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause significant damage to your kidneys and liver.
These drugs can even make your headaches worse by giving you a “medication overuse headache.” Prescription migraine and headache treatments have a variety of side effects, including drowsiness, depression, and weight gain.
You don’t have to choose between living with migraine headaches or living with the medication side effects. Chiropractic care is a drug-free intervention for headaches and migraines that can have you living pain-free in just a few visits.
Holistic Techniques to Treat Headaches & Migraines
We love helping people with chronic headaches and migraines achieve more pain-free days. Our chiropractors use new and innovative headache treatment techniques, like Active Release Techniques, which are scientifically proven to reduce headache pain by going straight to the source.
Many of our patients come to see us for headache treatment after a car accident or work-related injury. Conditions like whiplash and TMJ/TMD are frequently accompanied by severe headaches that can keep you from returning to work or going about your daily life.
Treatment Types We Offer
Every patient is unique, and our treatment plans are designed to address your specific needs. Here are some of the modalities we might incorporate into your personalized headache relief plan.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, targeted adjustments can help improve spinal alignment, reduce muscle tension that contributes to headaches, and promote better nerve function.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can significantly reduce muscle tension and inflammation, both of which can trigger headaches. This promotes relaxation and creates a more favorable environment for the body to heal.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. Studies show acupuncture can be effective in reducing headache frequency and intensity.
Rehabilitative Exercises
Strengthening and stretching exercises can improve posture, core stability, and muscle tone, all of which can contribute to preventing future headaches.
