Headache and Migraine Relief in Broomfield
Headaches and migraines can severely disrupt your day-to-day life. Whether you’re dealing with occasional headaches or chronic migraines, chiropractic care offers a natural way to address the root causes and provide lasting relief.
Our focus at Top of the Line Chiropractic is alleviating pain by correcting spinal misalignments and addressing muscle and nerve tension.
Causes of the Discomfort and Head Pain
Headaches and migraines may stem from various sources, including muscle tension, poor posture, nerve pressure, or environmental factors like stress and toxins. While headaches are a broad term referring to multiple conditions like tension headaches or cluster headaches, migraines are more specific. Migraines are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, light sensitivity, or auras—sensory disturbances that signal the onset of a migraine.
Chiropractic care successfully treats both conditions by addressing spinal misalignment and muscle tension, particularly in the neck and shoulders, which are often the primary triggers.
How Chiropractic Care Helps You
Chiropractic care targets the underlying causes of headaches and migraines by improving spinal health and relieving tension in the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull. These muscles play a crucial role in tension headaches and migraines, and correcting misalignment in the upper cervical spine can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.
In addition to spinal adjustments, we may recommend lifestyle changes, including exercises to improve posture and reduce stress. These holistic methods may help prevent headaches from recurring.
Recognizing and Preventing Serious Headaches
In rare cases, headaches may be a sign of more serious conditions, such as vascular issues or stroke. One such example is a thunderclap headache, which presents suddenly and is often described as the worst headache imaginable. Conducting a thorough examination to rule out any underlying vascular problems before proceeding with chiropractic procedures is crucial. We take this diagnostic step very seriously to ensure the proper course of action for every patient.
Some people believe adjusting the cervical spine can cause a stroke. In most cases, those patients were not correctly diagnosed before receiving care. That’s why we take the time to really listen to you before we proceed; we must get it right every time.
