Can chiropractic help headaches?
Summary
Yes, chiropractic care is a common and effective approach for many types of headaches, particularly those originating from tension or neck issues. By addressing spinal alignment and reducing nerve interference, chiropractors help tackle the root cause of the pain rather than just masking the symptoms.
Most likely causes
- Tension Headaches: Often caused by stress, poor posture, or "tech neck."
- Cervicogenic Headaches: Pain that originates from the cervical spine (neck) and radiates to the head.
- Migraines: Complex neurological events often triggered by physical or environmental stressors.
- Muscle Strains: Tightness in the shoulders and upper back pulling on the base of the skull.
