A bad headache can leave you unable to perform even the simplest of daily tasks. Sometimes a glass of water or a few aspirin can be enough to mitigate the distracting pain, but when the headaches are severe enough, or they become a reoccurring issue, further action may be required in order to alleviate your suffering so you can go about your day unhindered.

Chiropractic care has been shown to help headache sufferers to ease and manage their pain, and even prevent headaches from reoccurring. Whether your headaches are the result of an auto accident, a work-related injury, a spinal misalignment, or even if you’re unable to pinpoint their source, a chiropractor can help diagnose and treat the problem.

Here are a few of the ways in which chiropractic care can help prevent, relieve, and manage your headaches.

Make a Diagnosis

Headaches come in different forms, and can occur for a wide variety of reasons. Some headaches are caused by stress, some are the result of an injury, and others can be caused by a misaligned spine. A chiropractor can speak with you about the nature of your headaches and attempt to diagnose where they may be coming from.

For instance, if you’ve recently been in an auto accident, it’s possible that injuries stemming from that accident may be causing your headaches. It’s not uncommon for someone who has been involved in any kind of auto accident, be it a fender bender or a serious collision, to only begin noticing the physical effects of the accident days or even weeks later. Chiropractors are well-versed in the ill effects of auto accidents. Speaking with one about yours may help to pinpoint the source of your headaches.

Offer a Solution 

A chiropractor can assess your headache symptoms and offer a potential solution for them. Sometimes that solution might be a simple change in diet or lifestyle, sometimes it might be a regular stretching regimen, and other times it could be a cervical adjustment that will alleviate headache-causing neck or back tension. Whatever the issue may be, a chiropractor can help you find the solution you’re looking for. 

Chiropractic Care to Relieve and Manage Headache Pain

Regular chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and relieve tension in your neck and back that may be causing your headaches. Whether through soft tissue or manual therapy, a chiropractor can target the source of your headaches and work to relieve them.
