Understanding Headache Types
Primary headaches include migraines and tension-type headaches, occurring independently of other conditions. Secondary headaches stem from underlying medical conditions like sinus infections or trauma.
Identifying Triggers
Common triggers include stress, hormonal changes, dehydration, poor posture, and musculoskeletal tension. Lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep patterns, and screen time often contribute to frequency and severity.
Chiropractic Treatment
Your chiropractor begins with comprehensive assessment of medical history and headache patterns, evaluating musculoskeletal contributors, particularly in neck and upper back regions. Joint restrictions, muscle tension, and nerve irritation often trigger tension headaches.
Treatment Approach
Care includes:
- Gentle spinal manipulation to restore proper joint function
- Soft tissue therapy for muscle tension relief
- Trigger point therapy for targeted pain management
- Postural correction techniques
- Lifestyle modification guidance

Your chiropractor provides education on ergonomic improvements, stress management, and lifestyle modifications. Simple changes in exercise habits, hydration, and sleep patterns contribute to long-term relief.
