Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Headaches have many complex underlying causes, such a stress, muscle tension, infections, and eye problems. Migraines can be triggered by diet, hormonal changes, environment, and certain medications. Along with that, they can cause throbbing pain, nausea, and light sensitivity.

At our practice, we use multiple methods to help alleviate your headaches and migraines. Some treatments our chiropractors may recommend include:
- Spinal chiropractic adjustment to correct any misalignments causing headaches and provide relief
- Dry needling to target trigger points and relieve muscle tension contributing to the discomfort
- Neck stretches to strengthen the muscles in the neck and improve your wellness
- Advice on lifestyle factors like posture, diet, exercise, and stress management
