How Chiropractic Care Satisfactorily Treats Headaches
Due to the nature of headaches, chiropractic care is an excellent choice for getting headache relief, especially when you want a drug-free method and treat the cause instead of the symptoms. Ample research shows that chiropractic care can help reduce headache frequency, intensity, and sometimes prevent them altogether.
At ChiroConcepts McKinney we offer chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, graston, physical therapy and ergonomic coaching to provide the best results.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Headaches
In order to provide the best headache relief, we do detailed evaluations that can sometimes include x-rays and/or range of motion testing. The goal is to accurately identify the type of and root cause of your headaches. We then develop a custom-tailored treatment program that matches your specific needs.
Since headaches stem from neuromuscular issues, our chiropractors can apply a cervicogenic adjustment that’ll help relax muscles, relieve pressure on nerves, and restore blood flow. The graston technique provides similar results with specialized stainless steel tools instead of needles. The tools work out knots activating trigger points, helping muscles relax and providing headache relief.
Another angle is dry needling, which targets trigger points to ease tension out of muscles. Dry needling isn’t a standalone treatment but rather a compliment to chiropractic care and other headache relief methods.
You might think physical therapy is strictly for injured people, but it can be implemented for various forms of pain, including headaches. Physical therapy offers various ways of relieving headache-inducing tension and improving blood flow to flush out related inflammation.
One of the most important and helpful approaches to headache relief is ergonomic coaching. 2020 saw quite the spike in back pain and headache patients because of the shift to remote work. All those hours spent hunched in front of a poorly positioned computer monitor triggered a slew of tension headaches.
Our doctors will guide you through how to rearrange your workspace in a way your head will love, and evaluate other areas of your life to identify other possible triggers. The more ergonomic your life, the less likely you’ll get a headache.
