Headaches and migraines are among the most common neurological conditions affecting Stillwell residents. While occasional headaches are normal, chronic or severe headaches can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your work, family time, and overall well-being.

Many Stillwell residents experience headaches due to various factors including stress, poor posture from desk work or driving, neck muscle tension, spinal misalignments, and environmental triggers. The good news is that chiropractic care and physical therapy can provide effective, drug-free relief for most types of headaches and migraines.

Our Approach to Headache and Migraine Treatment in Stillwell

At Move Muscle & Joint Clinic, we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treating headaches and migraines for Stillwell residents. Our treatment plans are customized to address your specific type of headache, underlying causes, and individual needs.

Chiropractic Care for Headaches

Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments, particularly in the cervical spine (neck), that can contribute to headaches and migraines. By restoring proper alignment and function to your spine, we can reduce nerve irritation, improve blood flow, and decrease muscle tension that triggers headaches.

Research shows that chiropractic care can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of both tension headaches and migraines, providing long-term relief without the need for medication.

Physical Therapy for Headache Relief

Our physical therapy programs include targeted exercises to strengthen neck muscles, improve posture, and reduce muscle tension that contributes to headaches. We also use manual therapy techniques to release tight muscles and improve mobility in the neck and upper back.

Myofascial Release Therapy

Myofascial release therapy is particularly effective for tension headaches. This gentle, hands-on technique releases restrictions in the fascia (connective tissue) surrounding muscles in the neck, shoulders, and head, providing significant relief from headache pain.
