A Natural Approach to Managing Headaches
​Headaches and migraines can be more than just an inconvenience—they may signal musculoskeletal imbalances in the neck and spine. If you’re frequently managing headaches with medication, chiropractic care may offer an alternative approach by focusing on posture, mobility, and reducing tension.
​Could Your Neck Be Contributing to Your Headaches?
For many people, headaches can be linked to tension and misalignments in the neck and upper spine. Muscle tightness, joint restrictions, and nerve irritation may contribute to recurring discomfort. Common factors that may play a role include:
-
Postural strain from desk work or extended screen time
-
Muscle tension in the shoulders and neck
-
Stress-related tightness affecting spinal mobility
-
Past injuries, such as whiplash, that have impacted spinal function
