Condition of the Week: Tension Headaches

🌿 Tension Headaches: Why They Happen & How We Help

Tension headaches are one of the most common types of headaches—and they’re often linked to tight neck and shoulder muscles, stress, and long hours on screens. If you’re feeling that familiar band of pressure around your head, your body may be asking for support.

Chiropractic care can help reduce muscle tension, improve posture, and restore proper movement so those headaches show up less often (and with less intensity). Small changes make a big difference.

Want to know if your headaches are coming from muscle tension? We’re here to help you figure it out. Call (253) 927-0660 to schedule an appointment with one of our providers today.

Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (a quick download from Dr. Thomas)

Cough
- If the cough is worse when laying down and first getting up, it is most likely an upper respiratory infection.
- If the cough is all day long no matter what you do, it could be lower in the respiratory tract.

A "good" cough is a wet cough. Often you may swallow lots of mucous and therefore are not hungry ("bo**er belly"). To settle the stomach you need to burn through the mucous:
- black tea (sips of black tea), ginger, grapefruit juice, and/or salt.

Treatment for cough:
- Humidification and/or v***r rubs, steam shower
- Hydration with electrolytes
- Take a mucolytic: (N-acetyl-cysteine)

Treatment Options:
- Vitamin C
- Garlic/mullein drops
- Echinacea
- Probiotic
- Omega 3-fatty acids

For more support, schedule a visit with Dr. Thomas!

Cracking your own back might feel satisfying, but it often only provides temporary relief and can even worsen underlying issues. 😱

Self-adjustments lack the precision of professional care and may lead to muscle strain or joint instability. ✨ For lasting comfort and mobility, it's best to consult a chiropractor who can identify and address the specific areas needing attention.

A lot of people tell me they “crack” their own back to get relief when they feel stiff or sore. You might twist, bend, or push on your spine until you hear
