Headache and Migraine Treatment in Carrollton, TX
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, and for some people they are frequent, constant, and severe enough to cause nausea. Most headaches are tension, migraine, or cluster headaches that are not caused by disease but by something in the body that is not functioning correctly. At Premier Health Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we identify the underlying causes of your headaches and provide drug-free treatment to reduce how often they occur and how intense they feel.
Types of Headaches We Treat
- Tension headaches: a dull, band-like pressure around the head, often linked to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- Migraines: throbbing pain, often on one side, that may be accompanied by nausea and sensitivity to light and sound
- Cervicogenic headaches: headaches that originate from problems in the neck
- Cluster headaches: intense headaches that occur in cycles
- Post-traumatic headaches: headaches following a whiplash injury or fall
Common Headache Triggers
Many headaches are connected to misalignments in the upper spine, muscle tension, and posture. Common contributors include forward head posture from phones and computers, prolonged sitting, stress, poor sleep positions, jaw clenching, dehydration, skipped meals, and certain foods.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches and Migraines
When the vertebrae of the neck are restricted or misaligned, they can irritate nerves and tighten the muscles at the base of the skull, triggering pain. Chiropractic care addresses these underlying issues. Your treatment plan may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to the neck and upper back
- Soft-tissue work and electric muscle stimulation to release muscle tension
- Postural restoration to correct forward head posture
- Neck and upper back strengthening exercises
- Nutrition, hydration, and lifestyle recommendations to reduce triggers
