Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches and Migraines
Here are the benefits of chiropractic treatment for headaches and migraines:
​
-
Pain reduction: Chiropractic adjustments help reduce the tension in the muscles surrounding the neck and shoulders, which often contribute to tension headaches and migraines.
-
Improved nerve function: Spinal misalignments can affect nerve function, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help improve the flow of nerve signals, reducing pain and discomfort associated with headaches.
-
Preventative care: Regular chiropractic visits can help prevent future headaches by addressing the underlying structural issues in your spine that may contribute to recurring aches.
-
Reduced dependence on medication: Chiropractic care offers a drug-free alternative for managing headaches and migraine
What Conditions Do We Treat?
As an experienced and reliable chiropractor in Calgary for the past 20 years, we have used chiropractic care to help patients treat a wide variety of health conditions, including:
Lower back pain: Chiropractic therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for low back discomfort. A large body of medical data supports this therapy for low back pain.
Neck and shoulder pain: Chiropractic care can be incredibly useful in relieving persistent neck and shoulder discomfort. To understand the pain, we take a comprehensive approach to the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
Headaches and migraines: Chiropractic care can help reduce headaches, including migraines, referred neck pain, and neck discomfort that emerges as a headache.
Whiplash: Whiplash injuries are most usually associated with vehicle accidents, although they can occur whenever your neck and spine are forced to move violently beyond their normal range of motion.
Scoliosis: Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curve of the spine. Chiropractic adjustments may help mitigate functional scoliosis and prevent the need for surgery.
Carpal tunnel syndrome: Chiropractic, Massage and/or Acupuncture care for carpal tunnel syndrome can hasten recovery and enhance healing. These treatment modalities can relieve strain on the cervical spine's median nerve.
Fibromyalgia: Chiropractic therapy is an effective treatment for the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and patients who stick with it may see a reduction in pain, more mobility, and improved sleep.
Sprains and strains: Back sprains and strains may be relieved with chiropractic adjustment and adjunctive therapies. Sprains are caused by ligament injury that connects to bone. Strains are caused by muscle or tendon injury.
Herniated discs: When a disc herniates, the jelly-like insides of the disc pour out into the areas of the spine. Chiropractic treatment may help reduce discomfort caused by herniated discs.
TMJ disorders: TMJ disorder is most commonly caused by jaw trauma, motor vehicle accidents or overuse. Physical and emotional stress, as well as degenerative illness, are among the other conditions.
How Chiropractic Care Helps with Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines are often linked to issues in the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, such as spinal misalignments, poor posture, and muscle tension in the neck and upper back. These conditions can place pressure on nerves, irritate tissues, and lead to the onset of headaches and migraines. Chiropractic adjustments focus on realigning the spine, particularly the cervical (neck) region, to relieve pressures and restore normal function.
​
Our professional chiropractors use various techniques, including spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and lifestyle recommendations, to address the root causes of headaches and migraines. By targeting the underlying musculoskeletal dysfunctions, chiropractic care aims to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of these painful instances.
