Chiropractic care can be an effective approach for addressing headaches and migraines, offering several benefits for individuals who suffer from these often-debilitating conditions. Headaches can result from various factors, including muscle tension, neck misalignments, or stress. Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues, making them well-suited to alleviating these types of headaches.
At River Valley Chiropractic, we utilize specialized chiropractic adjustments that are designed to help reduce tension in the muscles and improve spinal alignment. Our integrated approach can use massage therapy and dry needling to target muscle tension in not only the suboccipital muscles (at the base of the skull), but also the upper trapezius muscles and the SCM’s (sternocleidomastoid) that can be the cause of some headaches. By addressing the root cause of headaches, chiropractic care aims to provide long-term relief and reduce the frequency and severity of headaches in a holistic and drug-free way.
One of the ways that River Valley Chiropractic stands out is our rehabilitative background. This allows us to tailor specific stretches and rehabilitative exercises to each individual. Some of the changes we will focus on are posture correction, stress management and ergonomic changes, all of which can be leading causes of headaches.
