Headache & Migraine: Restoring Balance for Lasting Wellness

What Is Headaches & Migraines?

Headaches and migraines are often linked to tension, nerve irritation, or misalignment in the neck and spine. When the spine isn’t moving as it should, pressure can build on surrounding muscles and nerves, triggering pain that radiates into the head. Chiropractic care works to gently restore alignment, ease tension, and support healthy nerve function, helping reduce both the intensity and frequency of headaches and migraines without relying on medication.

Symptoms and Risk Factors

Common Symptoms:

  • Persistent or throbbing pain in the head, neck, or behind the eyes
  • Sensitivity to light, sound, or strong smells
  • Stiffness or tension in the neck and shoulders
  • Nausea or dizziness accompanying head pain
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing during an episode

Risk Factors:

  • Poor posture from prolonged sitting or screen use
  • Stress and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
  • Spinal misalignment or restricted joint movement
  • Irregular sleep patterns or fatigue
  • Dehydration, skipped meals, or dietary triggers (e.g., caffeine, alcohol)

Prevention and Management Tips

While chiropractic care can address the root causes of headaches and migraines, there are also simple lifestyle habits you can adopt to support long-term relief and prevention.

  • Maintain good posture: Keep your spine aligned—especially when sitting at a desk or using devices—to reduce strain on your neck and shoulders.
  • Stay hydrated: Dehydration is a common trigger for headaches, so ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day.
  • Prioritise regular breaks: Step away from screens, stretch, and move your body to release built-up tension in the neck and back.
  • Manage stress effectively: Incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle exercise to calm both body and mind.
  • Get restorative sleep: A consistent sleep routine supports your nervous system and reduces the likelihood of recurring headaches or migraines.

FAQs
Can chiropractic care really help with headaches and migraines?

Yes. Many headaches and migraines are linked to tension, poor posture, or spinal misalignments. Chiropractic care focuses on gently restoring balance to the spine and reducing nerve irritation, which may ease symptoms and decrease frequency over time.

Chiropractic care may help with tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (arising from the neck), and some migraines that are linked to musculoskeletal stress. Every person is different, so we tailor our care to your unique needs.

Absolutely. Our chiropractors use gentle, evidence-informed techniques designed to relieve pain and restore movement safely. We always take the time to assess your health history and symptoms before beginning any care.

This depends on the severity, frequency, and underlying cause of your headaches or migraines. Some people feel improvement after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing care and lifestyle support to manage triggers long-term.

While arthritis cannot be cured, symptoms can often be managed effectively through lifestyle changes, exercises, and professional guidance.

Low-impact exercises like swimming, yoga, and cycling are beneficial for maintaining joint health without adding stress.

Applying heat or cold packs, staying active, and practicing gentle stretches can help alleviate discomfort.

If you’re struggling with persistent pain or limited mobility, consulting with a chiropractor can provide valuable guidance and support.
