Relieve the discomfort of headaches and migraines with chiropractic care at Flintridge Family Chiropractic. Our gentle, effective treatments target tension, neck stiffness, and misalignments that can cause symptoms like throbbing pain, sensitivity to light, and nausea. We address the root causes of headaches and migraines to restore balance and alleviate chronic pain.
What Are Headaches and Migraines?
Headaches and migraines are common neurological conditions that cause varying levels of discomfort. A headache typically involves pain or pressure in the head, while migraines can lead to more severe, throbbing pain, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light, and visual disturbances. Nearly everyone experiences headaches at some point, while migraines affect about 12% of the population. If you suffer from these conditions, chiropractic care may offer an effective solution for long-lasting relief.
Common Symptoms of Headaches and Migraines:
- Dull or throbbing head pain
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Nausea or vomiting
- Visual disturbances, such as seeing flashing lights or blind spots
- Neck stiffness or tension
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Pulsating pain on one or both sides of the head
How Does Chiropractic Care Help With
Headaches and Migraines?
Chiropractic care addresses headaches and migraines by focusing on spinal alignment, particularly in the cervical (neck) region. Misalignments or subluxations in the spine can irritate nerves and restrict blood flow to the brain, contributing to tension and migraine headaches. Through precise spinal adjustments, chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment, reducing nerve pressure and improving circulation. This promotes the body’s natural healing process, potentially decreasing the frequency and severity of headaches.
Chiropractic care can also relieve muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, which is often linked to headaches. By targeting the root cause rather than just the symptoms, chiropractic adjustments help alleviate the triggers of headaches and migraines. Research has shown that regular chiropractic treatments may lead to significant improvements in both chronic tension headaches and migraine disorders, reducing your dependence on medications.
