Headaches

What causes headaches?

The most common causes of headaches are stress, spending too long sitting with poor posture, using a phone or computer for too long, certain foods, dehydration, old whiplash injuries, light or noises in a surrounding environment, and poor sleep habits. Too much phone and computer use can cause “tech neck” - a build up of tension in the neck and shoulders from the forward head posture associated with using technology. This tension can contribute to headaches.

How can chiropractic help headaches?

Correcting spinal misalignments through chiropractic adjustments allows blood to move more freely, reducing inflammation and irritation that can lead to headaches. Adjustments can also improve neck and back tension that may be contributing.
