Causes of Tension Headaches

Muscle Tension in the neck due to misalignment of joints cause a large number of headaches. Modern day life styles such as sitting, looking down, and being less active all combine to create muscle tension headaches. Examples of this are looking down at phones and laptops, poor posture from sitting, old car accidents and injuries, stomach sleepers, and or daily activities that cause stress. 

​

Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help

Little misalignments of the bones in the neck can be adjusted to relieve the muscle tension due to nerve pressure in the neck, and by adjusting these misalignments the tension headaches are taken away.  Most of our patients go from having headaches daily to once weekly, or from weekly tension headaches to once a month tension headaches, or even to no more headaches at all.

Adjustments for Migraine Headaches

Migraine headaches are another type of headache that frequently occur throughout the US. They are intense, throbbing, stabbing, and sometimes have auras associated with them. As with the tension headaches, these are treatable by adjusting the areas of the spine in the upper part of the neck.
