Headache and Migraine Treatment The Gap
Headaches and migraines can be frustrating, painful, and at times debilitating. Whether you’re dealing with regular tension headaches or complex migraine symptoms, these conditions can interfere with work, concentration, and quality of life.
At Spine Studios, we offer a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms and their potential triggers. Our approach is focused on improving spinal function and reducing muscle tension, which may contribute to some types of headaches.
Understanding Headaches
There are many types of headaches, and causes can vary from physical tension to stress, poor posture, dehydration, or other lifestyle factors. Some of the most common types we see include:
Tension-type headaches – often linked to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders
Cervicogenic headaches – which may be related to dysfunction in the neck or upper spine
Migraines – often accompanied by sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, or visual disturbances
Identifying the likely source of your symptoms is key to creating a plan that supports both short-term relief and long-term management.
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
There are a variety of potential triggers for headaches and migraines. These may include:
Muscle tension and tightness in the neck and shoulders
Poor posture or sustained positions (e.g., desk work)
Stress and fatigue
Dehydration or dietary factors
Changes in sleep or hormone levels
Joint dysfunction in the cervical spine (upper neck)
Cervicogenic headaches, in particular, are thought to be linked to dysfunction in the neck and are commonly seen in people with postural strain or previous neck injury.
How Chiropractic May Help Your Headaches
At Spine Studios, we begin with a thorough consultation and examination to assess your spine, muscles, and nervous system. If spinal or muscular dysfunction is contributing to your headaches, chiropractic care may assist by improving joint mobility, reducing tension, and supporting overall spinal health.
Your care plan may include:
Gentle chiropractic adjustments
Soft tissue therapy
Postural and ergonomic advice
Exercises to support spinal stability and mobility
Co-management or referral where appropriate
We always take the time to discuss your history, explain your findings, and ensure any recommended care is suited to your needs and preferences.
