Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Headaches can vary in intensity, location, and duration. Migraines, in particular, are often more severe and may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, visual disturbances (auras), and sensitivity to light or sound.
Potential causes and triggers include:
- Tension and stress (leading to tight neck and shoulder muscles)
- Spinal misalignments in the neck and upper back
- Dehydration or nutritional deficiencies
- Injuries to the head, neck, or back
- Medication side effects
- Sleep disturbances or oversleeping
- Poor posture and extended screen use
Despite their different origins, most headaches, especially tension-type headaches, share a common thread: muscle tension and nerve irritation in the cervical spine.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches and Migraines
Chiropractic care offers an effective, drug-free way to relieve the tension and misalignments that contribute to chronic headaches and migraines. At Chiropractic Group of Overland Park, Dr. Stallbaumer focuses on:
- Cervical spinal adjustments to restore mobility and reduce nerve interference
- Myofascial release and soft tissue therapy to relieve muscular tension
- Postural correction and ergonomic coaching to prevent recurrence
- Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) to improve head and neck alignment
- Lifestyle and trigger management to reduce headache frequency
Many patients report immediate relief after chiropractic adjustments, especially those with headaches linked to neck dysfunction or poor posture.
Types of Headaches We Commonly Treat
- Tension headaches: Affects 75% of Americans. Often described as a tight band across the forehead or pressure in the back of the head.
- Cervicogenic headaches: Caused by restricted motion or misalignment in the neck vertebrae.
- Migraine headaches: Throbbing pain, often one-sided, with possible sensitivity to light, sound, and nausea.
- Cluster headaches: Intense pain occurring in clusters or cycles.
