Headaches and migraines affect many people and can dramatically disrupt daily routines, work, and quality of life. Tension headaches create a tight, band-like discomfort around the head, while migraines can cause severe throbbing pain, light and sound sensitivity, and even nausea. These symptoms may arise from muscle tension, postural issues, dietary triggers, stress, or misalignments in the neck and upper back.
Management typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, stress reduction, gentle spinal adjustments, ergonomic advice, massage, and sometimes dietary improvements. Chiropractic care aims to identify the unique triggers for headaches and migraines and to address the underlying structural issues, promoting long-term relief without excess medication use.
