Headaches & migraines
What Are Headaches and Migraines?
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal issues, affecting movement, posture, and overall well-being. It can result from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, or spinal disc problems, leading to discomfort that ranges from mild stiffness to severe, debilitating pain.
Symptoms may include:
- Localised pain or stiffness in the upper, mid, or lower back
- Sharp or shooting pain that worsens with movement
- Radiating pain into the legs or shoulders
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Reduced flexibility and difficulty with bending or lifting
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines can result from various factors, including lifestyle habits, stress, and spinal issues. Common causes include:
- Poor posture and prolonged screen time
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- Spinal misalignment affecting nerve function
- Stress and high levels of tension
- Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (TMJ dysfunction)
How We Treat Headaches & Migraines
Effective treatment goes beyond symptom management by addressing the root causes of tension, nerve irritation, and spinal misalignment. Targeted care can reduce headache frequency, relieve pain, and improve overall well-being.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression helps alleviate headaches caused by cervical disc issues and nerve compression. This therapy supports proper disc alignment and promotes natural healing by gently reducing pressure in the neck and upper spine.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Misalignments in the neck and upper back can contribute to tension headaches and migraines. Chiropractic adjustments restore balance to the spine, reduce muscle tension, and improve nerve function, providing long-term relief.
Targeted
Muscle Release
Chronic headaches are often linked to neck, shoulder, and jaw tightness. Targeted muscle release techniques help relieve built-up tension, reduce strain on the nervous system, and prevent recurring discomfort.
Breathing and Movement Therapy
Restricted breathing patterns and poor movement mechanics can contribute to tension and postural stress. Guided breathing exercises and movement therapy help improve oxygen flow, reduce stress, and support overall spinal function for headache prevention.
Do You Need Medication for Headache Relief?
While many people rely on medication for temporary headache relief, it does not always address the root cause. Non-medicated treatments such as chiropractic care, spinal decompression, and posture correction can offer long-term solutions without reliance on painkillers.
