Chiropractic Care and Headaches: Finding Relief at The Bridge Chiropractic
Headaches affect millions of Americans each year, disrupting work, family time, and overall quality of life. At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, our focus is on identifying and addressing the underlying spinal and postural causes of headache pain through precise chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies.
How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Headaches
Many headaches—particularly tension headaches and cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches—originate from misalignments or restricted motion in the upper spine. These dysfunctions can irritate nerves, tighten surrounding muscles, and reduce blood flow to the head. By gently realigning vertebrae and restoring proper joint mechanics, chiropractic adjustments relieve nerve pressure, increase circulation, and ease muscle tension, leading to fewer headache episodes and less reliance on pain medication.
Types of Headaches We Treat
-
Tension Headaches
Often described as a constant, band-like pressure around the forehead, tension headaches respond exceptionally well to spinal mobilization, soft-tissue work, and posture correction. -
Cervicogenic Headaches
These start in the neck and radiate to the head. Precise cervical adjustments coupled with targeted stretching and strengthening restore normal neck motion and stop pain at its source. -
Migraines
While migraines have complex triggers, many sufferers find that reducing neck and upper-back tension through regular chiropractic care helps decrease frequency and intensity. -
Post-Auto Accident Headaches
Whiplash and other collision-related injuries can lead to chronic headache patterns. Our auto accident chiropractic protocols combine adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and gentle modalities to accelerate healing.
