Symptoms You May Experience with Headaches
Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches? While some headaches are occasional, others are frequent. Some feel like a dull nuisance, and others are accompanied by debilitating pain and nausea. They can develop gradually, or come on suddenly. They also may last from less than an hour to several days.
About 95% of headaches are known as primary headaches. These headaches are typically caused by overactivity or problems with muscle tension. Primary headaches are not symptoms of underlying diseases. The most common primary headaches include:
- Cluster headaches
- Migraines
- Tension headaches
According to the American Chiropractic Association, headaches have many causes. These triggers may include alcohol, poor diet, certain foods, changes in sleep patterns, poor posture, muscle tension, skipped meals, stress, and exercise.
The Mayo Clinic states that symptoms you may experience from headaches include, but are not limited to:
- Constipation
- Neck stiffness
- Mood changes
- Frequent yawning
- Aura
- Blurred vision
- Pain on one or both sides of your head
- Lightheadedness
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Muscle aches

How Chiropractic Treatment Can Help Treat Headaches
What do you do when you find yourself suffering from a headache? Reach for a pill? Try and sleep it off? Attempt to ignore the pain until you just can’t take it anymore? There’s a better way! Chiropractic care can treat headache pain at its source.
A 2014 report in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that interventions commonly used in chiropractic care to treat headaches are effective treatment options.
Spinal manipulations done by Dr. Dee can remove subluxations in the spine that are triggering your headaches, and treat the source of your headaches once and for all. Over the counter and prescription medications mask the pain often associated with headaches, but they do not find the root cause of why these headaches keep happening.
With her incredible expertise, Dr. Dee will identify any misalignments in the spine that may be triggering your headaches. She will then perform adjustments to remove these subluxations, allowing your body to heal itself.
She can also support you by recommending nutritional advice, advice on posture, exercises and relaxation techniques, and more to help relieve the tension in the neck and upper back that often goes hand in hand with headaches.
By identifying the misalignments in the spine and correcting them with chiropractic adjustments, your headache pain will become a thing of the past.
Doctors of chiropractic receive extensive training in order to be able to effectively help treat their patients in many ways. Dr. Dee, at Healing Hands Chiropractic, understands that chiropractic care is about far more than just back pain. She believes in treating the whole patient in order to help them live their best and healthiest life!

What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?
A report released by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC found that “spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension type headache than commonly prescribed medications.”
Most people do not realize that having a misalignment in the spine can increase muscle tension while irritating the nerves that control blood flow into the head. By improving the movement and alignment of the spine, pressure and irritation relief occurs.
This relief means that communication is restored between your nervous system and the rest of your body. It also means that your headaches should become less frequent and intense! That is truly something OTC and prescriptions medications cannot offer.
Healing Hands Chiropractic seeks to treat headache pain at its source. This allows Dr. Dee to address the source of headache pain. By doing this, headaches can become a thing of the past!
Chiropractic provides a healthy, natural, safe, and effective treatment to headaches by:
- Determining the location of vertebral subluxations that can cause headaches
- Increasing nerve function throughout the entire body
- Treating the cause of the headache rather than the symptoms
- Providing relief for all types of headache pain
