Headache Treatment in Kyle
Whether occasional or chronic, headaches can keep people from enjoying life to the fullest. You can think of headaches as the check engine light in a car. It’s your body signaling that something isn’t quite right. While the headache is a symptom, it often indicates an underlying problem.
We often see patients who come in with migraines, tension headaches, and cluster headaches. Many of these headaches are caused by the misalignment of the cervical spine (the neck) or lack of good movement in the spine. Many patients with chronic headaches assume that they have to live with this discomfort for the rest of their lives. The good news is chiropractic can help!
Numerous patients have tried different medical treatments without success and finally found relief through chiropractic care. They start experiencing fewer headaches; eventually, some even stop having them altogether. For Dr. Browning and our other caring chiropractors, it’s gratifying to see patients experience relief through chiropractic care.
What to Expect
The first step in addressing headaches with chiropractic care is determining the cause. We do this by examining X-rays of the patient’s spine from different views. This helps us understand the spine’s alignment, position, and posture. We also conduct a physical examination, mainly focusing on the neck and upper back, to assess the motion and determine if there is stiffness where the spine doesn’t move properly.
Once we address this underlying issue through chiropractic adjustments and improve the alignment and motion of the spine, patients often begin to see their headaches decrease in frequency and intensity and even disappear.
After their headaches are under control, many patients continue with maintenance chiropractic care. This preventive approach helps them maintain their improved health status and minimize recurring headaches.
