Do you suffer from headaches or migraines? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of people all over the world deal with these types of pain on a regular basis. In many cases, people turn to medication in an attempt to find relief. Chiropractors have been helping people with headaches and migraines for years, and there is evidence to suggest that they can be very effective in relieving this type of pain.
At Iannuccilli Chiropractic, we are trained to treat headaches and migraines by addressing the underlying causes. Many headaches are caused by muscle tension or imbalances in the spine. Our doctors use adjustments and other techniques to relieve this tension and restore balance.
Treatment of migraine and headaches, chiropractors perform spinal adjustments or manipulation to reduce stress and improve spinal function:
- massage, which includes kneading of joints and muscles
- myofascial release massage aimed at the membranes that connect and support muscles
- trigger point therapies that target tense areas within muscles
By realigning the spine, chiropractors can take the pressure off of these nerves and blood vessels, providing relief from headaches and migraines.
