If you are suffering from headaches, our chiropractors at Gunderman Chiropractic and Wellness Center will work with you to alleviate your pain. We know how debilitating and frustrating headaches can be. That is why we will work to realign any misalignments in your vertebrae, administer treatments and also focus on teaching you lifestyle changes to prevent these sensations from developing.

What Causes Headaches?

A headache can feel like there is a tight band around your head, or it may feel like a throbbing sensation or an ache. No matter what kind of headache you are experiencing, we will make sure you find relief. However, it’s important to understand what causes these in the first place. They can be caused by many different reasons, including:

  • Subluxations: A subluxation is when one of your vertebrae slips out of place. This can put pressure on your spine, which can cause pain in the head, especially if the subluxation is in your neck.

  • Eye strain: Many people spend a lot of time on phones, computers and other screens, which can strain your eyes. Squinting can also strain your eyes, which can cause nerve pressure that can lead to pain.

  • Lack of sleep: Sleep is important to your overall well-being. During sleep, your body repairs itself. Without proper sleep, your body has not had enough time to repair itself overnight, which can lead to head pain. A lack of sleep can also make you more susceptible to pain.

  • Sinusitis: Sinusitis, or the swelling of your sinuses, can also cause pain in the face and head. Sinusitis may be caused by allergies, colds or sinus infections.

  • Triggers: If you suffer from migraines—a particular type of intense, severe and throbbing headache—certain triggers can set them off. These include hormonal changes, stress, the consumption of too much caffeine, too much alcohol and more.

Our Treatments For Headaches

At Gunderman Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we focus on comprehensive treatment. This means that we will address your physical, mental and emotional health in order to treat your pain. Some of our treatment options include:

We will work to determine if any of your vertebrae are misaligned. Then, we will perform a spinal adjustment to realign the spine to relieve the nerve pressure and, in turn, your symptoms.

Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light to repair cell function. This therapy is especially useful for treating migraines and chronic headaches. We will use this therapy on your neck to promote tissue healing and circulation to relieve you of your pain.

A lymphatic massage will help drain your lymph nodes to alleviate the pressure and sinus blockage that is causing your pain. This treatment is especially helpful for relieving pain caused by sinusitis headaches.

A myofascial release is similar to a massage, as it targets your connective tissues and trigger points. This can relieve pressure and pain associated with headaches, especially ones caused by tension.

Your symptoms could be caused by certain aspects of your lifestyle. If you are suffering from poor posture, we will work with you to correct your posture. If you are under high amounts of stress, we will work with you to help eliminate your stressors. We will make sure that you are staying hydrated, eating healthily and are not deficient in any vitamins.

Stop Headaches In Their Tracks

Our goal is to alleviate your headache-related pain. If you have severe recurring headaches, we may recommend that you first discuss your symptoms and medical history with your primary care physician to rule out any possible underlying medical conditions. We want to make sure that you are receiving the appropriate treatments for you and your type of headaches. If you are suffering from chronic head pain and are considering chiropractic care, you can call us at (757) 874-5666 or fill out our online form. We look forward to working with you to help you find the relief you deserve.
