Many of us have experienced the pain and discomfort of a headache. However, it can be difficult to differentiate between the different types of headaches that occur. At Nichols Chiropractic in Manhattan, KS, we offer treatments that can alleviate the discomfort you may have due to headaches or migraines. Before visiting us, learn about the different types of headaches below:
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches are the most common and can produce various symptoms. Some of these symptoms include dull pain, tightness and discomfort around the head, neck, and scalp, and fatigue. These headaches occur when the neck and back muscles become tense. Our chiropractors can perform spinal adjustments to relieve tightness. Other adjustments can also be performed to relieve your discomfort. Along with that, massage can help relax the muscles in the back and neck, which can relieve tension headaches. We may also utilize soft tissue treatments to help reduce your symptoms.
Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches can last for days, weeks, or months. These headaches usually cause discomfort on one side of your head that can prevent you from sleeping at night. Our chiropractors may treat this type of headache with adjustments, exercise, and stretching. Your customized treatment plan may also include lifestyle and nutritional counseling.
Migraine Headaches
Migraine headaches can be uncomfortable and affect a person's vision or aura. Often, the pain from a migraine headache can cause nausea and fatigue as well. We often perform spinal adjustments and utilize deep tissue massage for migraine treatment. These methods relax the body and help improve your blood vessel health. We can utilize massage techniques that focuses on the neck and shoulders in order to relieve tension and decrease the severity of a migraine headache.
