A Guide to Natural Headache Treatment through Chiropractic Care

Written By Pines West Chiropractic on August 23, 2018

Many people don’t know that headaches can be caused by the tension that builds up in your spine.

Poor posture, lack of exercise, and a sedentary lifestyle will result in pressure on your spine that causes neck and back pain as well as headaches. 

If you’re suffering from constant headaches, you’re not alone. According to research, in the U.S. alone, more than 38 million people experience the most common headache, a migraine.

As soon as your head begins to throb, you may be tempted to reach for pain reliever medication. However, this is not a long-term solution to your problem. Through spinal manipulation, chiropractors have created natural headache treatment plans that address headaches as a problem with your entire body, not just one isolated area.

What Triggers a Headache?

Most headaches are not triggered by an underlying physical ailment. On the contrary, the majority of headaches are caused by environmental factors and lifestyle choices that we do not realize are putting extra strain on our spine.

The reason that headaches are associated with tension in the neck is because when you keep your joints and muscles in a fixed position, they do not receive the chance to function properly. You lose your natural range of motion and instead are left with stiff, and sometimes distorted joints.

This lack of functionality can cause internal stress, which results in a headache. 

How to Seek Out Natural Headache Treatment

Instead of treating the symptoms of your headache, try visiting a chiropractor to address the cause of it.

Chiropractors design natural headache treatment plans around spinal manipulation. This method, which is also known as spinal adjustment, involves high- and low-velocity movements to your spine where the tension is stored. This allows chiropractors to alleviate the stress on your spine which improves functionality in your entire body.

Adjustments are only one part of a natural headache treatment plan. In addition, chiropractors offer exercise and nutritional techniques that promote a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating both into your daily routine, along with visits to the chiropractor, will keep your spine performing to its highest potential.
