Headaches are common and can interfere with your daily activities. However, chiropractic care can help alleviate your discomfort and allow you to return to your normal routine quickly. At Davis Family Chiropractic, serving Little Chute, Kaukauna, and the surrounding areas, we offer treatment for headaches and other common ailments.
Common Causes of Headaches
Headaches can have a variety of causes that can be treated with chiropractic care. The most common cause of headaches is tension in the neck, which can result due to spinal misalignment, injuries, or stress. Spinal misalignment can also interfere with the function of the nervous system and trigger headaches and migraines.
Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches
Chiropractic care focuses on treating the underlying cause of health conditions, rather than the symptoms. Our chiropractor will diagnose and treat the cause of your headaches, which can provide lasting headache relief.
Chiropractic Adjustment
During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractor will use gentle pressure and thrusts to correct misalignments. Spinal manipulation can relieve pain, increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, improve nervous system function, and relieve headaches.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional counseling can also help relieve headaches. Certain foods can trigger headaches and migraines, so avoiding these foods can reduce headaches. In addition, proper nutrition can improve your overall health and reduce inflammation in the body.
Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes can also be beneficial in alleviating headaches. When you look at your phone or computer screen, this can trigger headaches. Our chiropractor may recommend ergonomics to reduce your discomfort, taking breaks from technology, and starting an exercise routine.
E-Stim
E-stim is another type of headache treatment provided by our chiropractor. E-stim uses mild electric currents to stimulate the nerves or muscles in the body. This can relieve migraines by stimulating the trigeminal nerve and relieving muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
What to Expect When You Visit a Chiropractor for Headaches
During your first appointment, our chiropractor will take time to get to know you and your symptoms. We will discuss your medical history, current symptoms and concerns, and your lifestyle. Afterward, we will perform a physical exam to check for misalignments, limited range of motion, and muscle tension. Then, we will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Headaches
Chiropractic care offers several benefits, is non-invasive, and has minimal side effects. It's also effective, as it treats the cause of headaches rather than just the symptoms. Patients typically notice a reduction in the severity and frequency of headaches after their first appointment. In addition, chiropractic care is beneficial in relieving pain by misalignments or muscle tension, reducing the risk of injury, and improving balance.
