Understanding the Different Types
There are many types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches (those that begin in the neck). Common contributors may include stress, poor posture, eye strain, dehydration, certain foods, hormonal changes, or muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Daily habits like long hours on the computer or looking down at a phone can also play a role.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
While over-the-counter medications may provide temporary relief, they don’t address the factors that may be contributing to recurring headaches. In Ontario, chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose, and help manage headaches that are related to the muscles, joints, and nerves of the spine.
Our Personalized Approach
North York chiropractor Dr. Stacey Smith begins by listening to your health history, discussing your symptoms, and performing a thorough assessment. If your headaches appear related to tension or restricted movement in the spine, gentle chiropractic adjustments may be recommended to help restore proper motion and ease irritation to surrounding nerves and muscles.
Comprehensive Care and Support
Chiropractic care for headaches may also include posture advice, stretching or strengthening exercises, and lifestyle suggestions to help you reduce triggers. The goal is to support your overall health and provide tools you can use to help minimize future episodes.
Some people notice their headaches become less frequent or less intense with ongoing care and positive lifestyle changes. Results vary, of course, and your care plan will always be tailored to your individual needs.
