Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches come in many forms, each with distinct characteristics and causes. Tension headaches, the most common type, often feel like a tight band around your head and are typically caused by muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. Migraines are more severe, often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Cervicogenic headaches originate from problems in the cervical spine and can cause pain that radiates from the neck to the head.

For Mission residents, common headache triggers include stress from work or family responsibilities, poor posture during computer use, inadequate sleep, dehydration, and muscle tension from physical activities at Indian Creek Trail or Mission Bowl. Environmental factors, dietary triggers, and hormonal changes can also contribute to headache frequency. Our comprehensive evaluation helps identify your specific triggers and underlying causes, allowing us to create an effective treatment strategy tailored to your needs.

Our Headache Treatment Approach in Mission

At our Mission location, we use a multi-faceted approach to headache and migraine treatment. Our chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments in the cervical spine that can contribute to headache development. Gentle spinal adjustments restore proper alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and improve blood flow to the head and neck, often providing immediate relief for many patients.

Our physical therapy services complement chiropractic care by addressing muscle imbalances, improving posture, and strengthening the neck and shoulder muscles. We teach Mission patients specific exercises and stretches that can be performed at home or work to prevent headache onset. Additionally, our myofascial release therapy targets trigger points and muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw that commonly contribute to tension headaches and migraines.
