How do chiropractors treat headaches and migraines?

Chiropractors at Gaslamp Chiropractic provide hands-on, drug-free care for headaches and migraines. They can perform a thorough assessment to help determine the cause of your pain and create a personalized treatment plan to address that cause.

Research shows that chiropractic care, particularly spinal manipulation, is an effective treatment for tension headaches, which often start in the shoulders and neck. By releasing tension in the spine, chiropractors can relieve headaches and help you prevent future headaches.

Chiropractors can also help treat temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), another common cause of headaches. Repeated treatments can help release and relax the muscles in your jaw and prevent pain from radiating through your head.

You can also improve your posture and spinal function with help from a chiropractor. Your chiropractor can perform a screening to identify posture problems and create a solution for you.

At Gaslamp Chiropractic, the team also offers more specialized treatments such as acupuncture, and laser therapy to reduce inflammation and pain. These services, in addition to other chiropractic care, can improve your overall wellness.

Finally, chiropractors can help you manage stress and make other lifestyle changes associated with fewer headaches. These lifestyle changes may include avoiding certain foods or participating in low-impact exercise. By addressing your total wellness, not just your headache symptoms, chiropractors help you achieve optimal health.
