Chiropractic Care and Headaches


Headaches are a very common issue that we all will most likely deal with at some point in our lifetime. While some headaches are a short term issue and are an inconvenience, some people suffer from chronic debilitating headaches. Regardless of the severity, we can all agree that finding ways to prevent and/or effectively treat headaches is the best case scenario. That’s why it’s vital to learn about potential options for treating headaches when they strike.

Spine alignment and headaches

A major issue that commonly underlies headaches is spine misalignment. In fact, poor spine alignment can be the initial trigger for many of the risk factors we will be discussing below. The best way to address spine alignment is with Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP). This expert-based, extensively researched treatment approach focuses on restoring sustainable spine health. CBP minimizes issues with body imbalances and dysfunction that could trigger many health issues, including headaches.

Risk factors for developing a headache

Here are a few of the possible causes and risk factors for developing a headache.

  • Muscle fatigue, overuse, or exertion- particularly in the upper body
  • Trauma to the head and/or neck
  • Dehydration
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Poor stress management skills
  • Low blood sugar or general hunger
  • Poor posture with daily activities or sleep
  • Withdrawal from sugar or caffeine
  • Sinus issues typically due to allergies
  • Poor diet choices

Chiropractic care and headache management

Traditional headache treatment includes pain management via modalities like medication, ice, rest, and heat. Sometimes, lifestyle changes are recommended (to address any of the risk factors listed above). Yet, unfortunately the bigger underlying issues of posture and spine alignment are not commonly addressed.

A CBP practitioner can work closely with you to develop a personalized program that works. This will most likely include extensive posture education, gentle manipulations, soft tissue mobilization, exercise and flexibility recommendations, and many more non-invasive options. At the root of the treatment, spine alignment will always be addressed to optimize overall health.

Address spine alignment with CBP

Spine misalignment affects nerve energy. This affects the body’s ability to heal from trauma, remain resilient against poor posture, and maintain other vital bodily functions that keep you feeling your best. When spine health and proper nerve flow are restored with CBP treatment, the body will be able to cope better to help prevent or minimize the onset of a headache.

If you’ve suffered from headaches and can’t seem to get a grasp on how to prevent or better treat them, seeking the care of a CBP practitioner has the potential to improve your quality of life. Find an elite CBP care provider and discuss the potential for living a life with fewer or no headaches thanks to better spine alignment and overall body function.
