Find out how seeing a chiropractor may help with headache and migraine treatment and prevention.
A Spinal Adjustment May Minimize Migraines and Headaches
If you make an appointment with a chiropractor and let them know you would like to use chiropractic care for migraines or headaches, they may begin by performing a spinal adjustment.
Dr. Rush will first do an evaluation to determine if you will need to see your primary doctor or other specialist as well as receiving chiropractic treatment.
A chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation is designed to alleviate any pressure put on the nerves in your neck and upper back.
This pressure is often to blame for migraines and headaches. You may be able to minimize both the intensity and frequency of migraines and headaches by having spinal adjustments performed by a chiropractor routinely.
Trigger Point Therapy May Limit Migraines and Headaches
Your body is filled with trigger points that develop near your muscles and cause pain. Trigger point therapy helps to release these trigger points. This could put you in a much better position to ward off migraines and headaches, along with neck and back pain.
Trigger point therapy — or myofascial release therapy as it’s also referred to — usually includes some combination of:
- Soft tissue work
- Deep tissue massage
- Dry needling
A chiropractor might recommend using trigger point therapy after other options fail to relax the muscles in your neck and back.
