Headache Chiropractor Upper Darby, PA
Headaches and migraines can disrupt your entire day, especially when the pain keeps returning or never fully settles. At Everybody’s Chiropractic, care focuses on how the neck and upper spine may be influencing the discomfort you feel. By improving motion in these areas and reducing tension around sensitive tissues, chiropractic adjustments help the body work more comfortably, so headaches are easier to manage and less likely to interrupt your routine.
Expert Chiropractic Care for Headaches & Migraines
Headache pain can come from tight neck muscles, irritated nerves, or strain in the upper back. Our clinic’s care plan begins by identifying which of these issues is contributing most to your symptoms. Treatment may include gentle adjustments to improve motion in the neck, hands-on techniques that reduce tension, and guidance that supports healthier movement patterns throughout the day.
Patients come in with many types of headaches, from migraine episodes to sinus-related pressure and discomfort linked to neck stiffness. Addressing the root cause helps reduce sensitivity in the area, which may lower the frequency and intensity of future headaches.
Headache & Migraine FAQs
Can Headache Pain be Made Worse by Stress?
Stress can cause headaches to be more severe, especially if the person has extremely tight muscles in the neck and shoulders. Tight muscles can put pressure on both nerves and blood vessels, depriving the brain of oxygen and disrupting signals to and from the brain. Stress also causes the depletion of B vitamins that the brain requires to function efficiently. In addition to the loss of the B complex vitamins, toxic byproducts are also released. High levels of stress produce free radicals that can have an impact on how the brain functions, including how well it is able to process and utilize the nutrients it receives.
What is a Cluster Headache?
Cluster headaches normally stay to one side of the head and will recur frequently, often appearing in clusters. Cluster headaches are often characterized by intense pain that is made worse when a person stands up or moves too quickly. Bright lights and odors can also cause the pain to intensify. Symptoms range from mild to severe and often include eye pain, nausea, and vomiting. Remaining in a dark room in an inclined position may help to relieve the severity of some of the symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments can help to relieve the stress and inflammation that can aggravate the headache pain.
Can Chiropractic Adjustments Relieve Sinus Headache Pain?
Chiropractic adjustments can help to alleviate inflammation in the neck and around the base of the skull that can cause the sinuses to not be able to drain properly. Massage therapy is also beneficial in helping to open up the Eustachian tubes in the neck restoring the drainage channels that the sinuses empty into. When a person becomes congested due to a cold or the flu, the Eustachian tubes in the neck can become blocked, preventing them from draining. Both massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments can relieve the pain and the pressure of a sinus headache. This will also help to reduce the risk of a sinus infection.
