Headaches, which can include tension headaches and migraines, are frequent complaints arising from factors such as stress, muscle tension, spinal misalignment, or neurological issues. Symptoms vary from mild to severe head pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, or visual disturbances. Recurrent headaches can impact concentration, mood, and daily functioning.
Chiropractic care for headaches and migraines targets underlying musculoskeletal or neurological factors, especially tension or misalignments in the neck and upper spine. Adjustments may reduce nerve interference, promote muscle relaxation, and restore normal blood flow. Lifestyle changes, ergonomic advice, and stress management techniques are also recommended for long-term headache prevention and relief.
