When headaches become part of your daily life, it’s a sign your nervous system may be struggling to adapt. In our office, we don’t just look at where the pain is - we look at WHY it’s happening.
Here are three common types of headaches we see (and support):
✨ Tension Headaches
These often show up as a dull, achy pressure across the forehead or back of the neck. Stress, postural strain, and nervous system overload can cause the muscles around your spine and skull to tighten - making it hard for your body to relax, regulate, and reset.
🌪️ Migraines
More than “just a headache,” migraines can involve nausea, light sensitivity, visual disturbances, and throbbing pain. Nervous system dysregulation and inflammation play a big role here. We focus on reducing stress on the brainstem and restoring healthy communication between the brain and body.
🎯 Cervicogenic Headaches
These stem from misalignments in the neck, often radiating pain behind the eyes or up the back of the head. Poor posture, past injuries, or repetitive stress can all disrupt the flow of information between the spine and nervous system - leading to recurring pain patterns.
🧠 Your nervous system is your body’s communication highway, and when there’s interference, it often shows up as symptoms like headaches. Chiropractic adjustments help relieve pressure, restore alignment, and regulate the nervous system, so your body can shift out of stress mode and into healing.
If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of painkillers and powering through, we’re here to help you get to the root! 🫶🏼
