How Chiropractors Treat Headaches

Chiropractic Solutions to Help End Headaches

Headaches can be incredibly debilitating, making everything from working on a computer to sleeping to physical activity stressful and uncomfortable. Those who suffer from regular or chronic headaches know how hindering they can be to everyday routines. 


Chiropractors can help manage headaches by identifying and correcting dysfunctions within the spine, joints, and soft tissues. When these systems aren’t functioning well, they can add undue pressure and imbalances, contributing to headache frequency and severity. 



This article discusses:

  • The most common kinds of headaches 

  • How chiropractic care will help prevent headaches

  • Chiropractic care for headaches

  • And more



If you experience headaches and want safe, natural, proactive solutions to help minimize their effects, this post is for you. 



Common Kinds of Headaches a Chiropractor Can Help Alleviate

Headaches come in many forms and can occur due to environmental triggers, traumatic events, stress, sickness, or improper function within the spine or musculoskeletal system. Knowing why you get headaches is important to conquering them effectively. 


Chiropractic care can help with many types of headaches because chiropractors treat bodily dysfunctions and injuries that often generate them. They also examine many aspects of the patient’s life to help determine the cause of their headaches and provide guidance on how to prevent them. 



Your local headache chiropractor may go over your:

  • Lifestyle 

  • Posture

  • Sports or athletics

  • Movement patterns

  • Lifting technique

  • Triggers

  • Workstation setup

  • Stress management 

  • Hydration and nutrition

  • And more



Many of these events, hobbies, or habits can induce headaches of various kinds.



Common headaches that your chiropractor can help relieve include:

  • Tension headaches: the most common headache, brought on by stress and felt on both sides of the head

  • Cluster headaches: excruciating and long-lasting headaches felt behind the eye on one side of the head

  • Migraine headaches: typically nurtured through triggers, migraines can be very painful and make sensory stimulation challenging or impossible

  • TMJ headaches: caused by clenching of the jaw

  • Prenatal and postnatal headaches: hormonal changes can generate headaches during and after pregnancy



A reliable and proven way to discourage headaches of any kind is with proactive chiropractic care and trigger avoidance. While this can’t guarantee you’ll never get another headache, it can keep them from appearing as often or as severely. 



Chiropractic to Help Prevent Headaches

Preventative chiropractic care can help control your headaches, no matter what kind, and you’ll also get the tools to help you keep headaches at bay. 



Chiropractic can help alleviate headaches in many ways, including:

  • Ensuring the spine is balanced and functioning

  • Promoting relaxation within tense muscles in the neck, shoulders, and back

  • Treating TMJ 

  • Reducing mental stress and anxiety

  • Balancing the nervous system

  • Improving sleep quality

  • Offering lifestyle guidance unique to your needs

  • Learning your triggers

  • And more



Once you know the cause of your headaches, you’ll be able to get in front of them, which is vital to your health, productivity, and mental well-being.
