Tension Headaches

Tension headaches are a common type of headache that can be caused by stress, poor posture, lack of sleep, dehydration or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. We offer several treatments to help alleviate symptoms including adjustments to the spine and neck to improve spinal function and manual therapy techniques to reduce the tension of surrounding muscles that may contribute to headache symptoms. Depending on your symptoms, acupuncture may be utilized to further reduce the frequency and intensity of tension headaches.

In addition, rehabilitative exercise plays a crucial role in managing tension headaches by strengthening weak muscles in the neck and shoulders while improving flexibility in tight areas. Lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing triggers such as stressors also form part of our approach to care delivery for long-term relief.

If you are experiencing recurrent episodes of tension headaches that affect your quality of life significantly, seeking professional chiropractic care is an excellent option worth considering. Schedule an appointment today so we can work together towards helping you regain control over your pain.
