While headaches and migraines can occur without any discernable trigger, many people eventually learn to identify the things that are most likely to bring their headaches on. For some people, the trigger is environmental. Environmental triggers can include noise, lights, and strong odors like cleaners, chemicals and heavy perfumes. In other cases, certain foods are likely to trigger headaches.
Muscle tension in the neck is also a very common headache trigger. Sedentary jobs often leave us spending hours in positions that can cause tension to travel from the upper back and neck to the scalp, resulting in headaches.
How Chiropractic Brings Headache & Migraine Relief
Research shows spinal manipulation can help relieve the pain of tension headaches that start in your neck. Regular manipulation can cut down on the frequency and severity of headaches.
Headaches can come and go for several reasons, but why not just make them GO AWAY! Let’s talk….
Lifestyle Adjustments to Prevent Headaches
Chiropractic care can be augmented by lifestyle changes and home remedies that can keep debilitating headaches at bay. Some of the adjustments that can help cut down on your incidence of headaches and migraines:
- Stay hydrated. Often, we can experience headaches because we are not drinking enough water. By consuming adequate water throughout the day, you can cut this headache trigger.
- Consider cutting or reducing alcohol consumption. Sometimes specific drinks, such as red wine, can be significant headache triggers. Moderation and switching to other beverages can help.
- Learn meditation and mindfulness techniques. Stress is a common headache trigger. Mindfulness and meditation can help you manage stress better and allay its physical effects.
