Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines affect millions of people and can vary significantly in intensity, frequency, and underlying cause. While many rely on over-the-counter or prescription medications for temporary relief, these solutions often mask the symptoms rather than address the root cause.

Common Types of Headaches:

  • Tension Headaches: Caused by muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and scalp, often related to stress or posture.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Originating from dysfunction in the cervical spine (neck), often mistaken for migraines.
  • Migraines: Intense, throbbing headaches often accompanied by nausea, visual disturbances, and sensitivity to light and sound.

At iSpine, we recognize that many headaches are linked to spinal misalignments, nerve irritation, and muscular tension, especially in the cervical (neck) region. Our chiropractic treatments aim to correct these imbalances for long-lasting relief.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches and Migraines

Spinal Adjustments to Correct Misalignments

Chiropractic adjustments realign the vertebrae in the cervical spine, reducing nerve irritation and improving blood flow. This helps relieve the pressure that can trigger tension headachescervicogenic headaches, and migraines.

Muscle Tension Relief

Chiropractic care often includes manual therapy techniques that reduce muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, addressing one of the most common causes of tension headaches.

Nervous System Regulation

By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve interference, chiropractic adjustments help balance the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in migraine activity and headache regulation.

Posture and Lifestyle Guidance

Poor posture, especially related to desk work or screen time, is a major contributor to headaches. At iSpine, we offer ergonomic advice and posture correction strategies to prevent future headaches.
