Migraines are debilitating headaches that cause severe, throbbing head pain, light and sound sensitivity, nausea and dizziness, and they can result in the sufferer spending several days in bed waiting out the headache. Chiropractic care can help reduce the severity and frequency of your migraine headaches so that you can spend less time in bed and more time with your family.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Many migraines that appear to have no cause are actually caused by subtle misalignments in the vertebrae. These misalignments can result in inflammation of the nerves and muscles in the neck and back and contribute to your migraines. By correcting these misalignments with chiropractic adjustments, we are reducing inflammation, ensuring your spine and cervical vertebrae are in their correct positions and reducing the frequency of your severe headaches.

Corrective Exercises and Posture Screenings

Poor posture can contribute to migraines and severe headaches by overtaxing the muscles of the back and neck. When the back muscles become tight due to overuse, tension headaches are often the result. Our chiropractors in Manhattan can help you strengthen your back muscles and improve your posture with corrective exercises. If you work in a job that requires a lot of standing with a head down posture or if you work at a desk all day, we can give you advice on how to maintain proper posture while and work and set up your desk in a way that is ergonomically friendly.

Wellness Coaching

Headaches can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Certain foods and sedentary habits can lead to chronic migraines. We can help you identify your headache triggers and correct any unhealthy habits so that you can feel better, reduce the frequency of your severe headaches and increase your daily energy levels.

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises and wellness coaching, we also provide acupuncture, ART, iTrac Therapy and pain management services. To schedule an appointment to have the causes of your headaches evaluated, contact our chiropractic office at 785-537-2211.
