Our Approach to Chiropractic Care for Migraines & Headaches

Are you someone who suffers from chronic headaches and/or migraines? 

These problems are debilitating and disrupt your daily life, work, and family. You’ve probably tried many different over-the-counter remedies and perhaps even prescription medications for headaches, but these are only temporary solutions. For many, the search for lasting relief goes beyond traditional medications. 

Credence Chiropractic offers a natural, drug-free approach to chronic headaches and migraines that focuses on addressing the musculoskeletal and neurological factors that often contribute to headache pain. 

Let’s take a look at how Credence Chiropractic provides relief for chronic headaches and migraines with specialized, non-invasive techniques. 

Targeting the Neck as the Source of Migraines & Headaches

Cervicogenic headaches originate in the neck. When the joints and vertebrae in the upper neck are restricted or misaligned, they can irritate nearby nerves and muscles, causing headaches. Therefore, correcting subluxations can reduce the stiffness or misalignments in the cervical spine (the neck). 

There is strong evidence that chiropractic care can provide migraine relief through restoring spinal alignment. Chiropractic spinal adjustments apply controlled, precise force to restricted neck joints, which can help restore proper function, reduce nerve irritation, and decrease inflammation that travels up the neck to cause head pain. 

The Torque Release Technique® (TRT) is the key to our chiropractic team's ability to pinpoint and address the primary points of subluxation at Credence Chiropractic. Unlike conventional methods, our TRT equipment employs torque and recoil to administer these gentle adjustments, effectively removing subluxations and restoring vital communication pathways within the nervous system.

Reducing Muscle Tension to Relieve Migraines

Tension headaches are another common headache type that plagues many people. These are typically characterized by a dull, aching pain that feels like a tight band around the head. 

These headaches are often caused by chronic muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back as a result of stress and anxiety, poor posture, or repetitive work. 

By combining spinal adjustments and soft-tissue therapy, chiropractors can alleviate tight muscle knots, improve blood flow, and reduce the underlying joint restrictions that maintain chronic muscle tightness. 

Managing Migraine Frequency & Intensity

Migraines are complex neurological conditions, but studies indicate that chiropractic care can be an effective complementary therapy for reducing the impact of migraine attacks. 

With regular care, chiropractors can help reduce musculoskeletal issues, such as neck stiffness and tension, which are frequent triggers of migraines. By addressing physical triggers, chiropractic care may help reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraine episodes. 

Chiropractic adjustments can also help stimulate the nervous system, potentially influencing the body’s pain and stress responses. By calming the nervous system, the body may become less susceptible to the inflammation and neurochemical changes that can set off a migraine attack. 

TRT sessions are relatively short, usually lasting around 15-20 minutes. The technique's efficiency allows for effective care without extended treatment times.
