Cause of Headaches & Migraines
Research shows that chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive and drug-free treatment for headaches.
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines:
Headaches and migraines can have many triggers, but often there’s a mechanical or nerve-based issue contributing — especially when they’re accompanied by neck stiffness or tension. They’re rarely serious, but can have a profound impact on life and work.
Common causes we see include:
Muscle tension or postural strain - "text neck"
Jaw tightness or clenching
Dehydration
Eyesight problems
Colds, sinus infections or other illnesses
Stress or fatigue
Having your period
Previous injuries such as whiplash or falls
Dietary triggers
Drinking too much alcohol
The upper neck is a sensitive area —and is particularly affected by our postures and neck positions. When the joints or nerves in the upper neck aren’t functioning properly, this can contribute to tension headaches, migraines, dizziness, and even pain that radiates into the face, head, or behind the eyes.
It’s always a good idea to keep a headache diary to identify patterns that may be contributing to your headaches.
What we can do to help
During your first appointment, one of our experienced practitioners will take the time to understand your experience with headaches or migraines in detail. This includes a full spinal, neurological and functional examination to help identify the underlying cause.
You’ll receive a tailored care plan aimed at not only easing your current symptoms, but also reducing the likelihood of them returning — with the goal of helping you live life with greater ease and comfort.
Let’s work together to understand your headaches and find a solution.
