Headache Relief
As we all know, headaches come in different shapes, sizes, and intensities. Some days, they’re a mere inconvenience, while at other times, they’re an unwelcome intruder disrupting our lives.
More than just a singular throbbing sensation, headaches vary in nature and triggers. Sinus headaches, often mistaken for migraines, stem from sinus infections or congestion. Migraines, on the other hand, come with intense and often debilitating pain.
Then there’s also cervicogenic headaches (CGH), which responds particularly well to chiropractic care. Originating from the neck before wrapping around to the base and front of the head, a cervicogenic headache has diverse symptoms, including pain on one side of the head.
Why Causes Headaches?
Any number of issues can cause headaches. Traumatic events like whiplash or concussions can leave a lasting headache, while poor posture and spinal misalignment can spur nerve irritation, leading to pressure and discomfort.
Vascular issues can impact the arteries leading to the brain and contribute to headaches. Plus, the condition can be caused by seemingly unrelated factors like sinus issues, eyesight problems, dehydration, and in rare cases, underlying health conditions like tumors.
There are also some foods that can trigger headaches. These often include chocolate, aged cheese, processed meats, and MSG-containing foods. Red wine can also trigger headaches in some people.
How We Can Help
Our doctors can usually diagnose the root cause of a headache if they receive a complete medical history. They can help you by offering personalized solutions that bring relief and renewed vitality.
Our Lake Worth practice focuses on corrective cervical spine care. By restoring proper alignment and putting the spine in the right place, pressure is removed from the muscles and nervous system, allowing your body the opportunity to regain normal function. The aim is to alleviate pain and bring balance to the body and effectively set up optimal long-term performance.
But it’s not moving the bones back in line that fixes headaches. It is often the day-to-day practices that need to change for substantial healing to take place. That’s why our approach includes a process of neurological testing, continual diagnosis, and specialized modern techniques that empower you to achieve and maintain health as opposed to symptom chasing without long term improvement.

The frequency and severity of headaches slowly decrease with the implementation of trusted chiropractic care methods. Our care may include spinal decompression, corrective exercises as well as the use of a Denneroll, which is an orthotic device that can correct cervical curvatures and relieve pain. There are many techniques to choose from, but you will most likely see continual progress when receiving the methods used at our practice.
