What Causes Headaches and Migraines?

Headaches and migraines affect millions of people every day. The most common type of headache is a tension headache. Tension headaches are caused by a build-up of stress, tight muscles in the upper back and neck, and radiating pain from sore muscles. Migraines are also common, and they can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics, stress, hormonal changes, and physical activity.

Do I Need to See a Chiropractor?

Most headaches will go away on their own without any treatment. However, if your headache continues to return or is accompanied by severe symptoms such as:

  • Blurry vision
  • Balance problems
  • Upper back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Muscle tension

These symptoms could indicate you need to visit a chiropractor for professional treatment as soon as possible. It's never a good idea to leave a headache untreated, as headaches and migraines can severely impact your ability to live life to the fullest.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

If you're looking for relief from headaches and migraines, our chiropractor is ready to assist you. Our chiropractor will determine the cause of your headaches through a comprehensive physical exam, questions about when your headaches began, and learning about your environment.

Afterward, our chiropractor can prescribe treatment such as:

  • Massages to reduce upper back muscle tension
  • Manual and spinal adjustments to restore balance and re-align the spine, as a misaligned spine can lead to headaches
  • Muscle exercises to increase mobility and restore strength, such as in a previously injured neck or spine
  • Lifestyle changes to reduce stress that can cause headaches
