Migraines & Headaches Treatment

Conveniently located on 58th Street in Manhattan, New York City

Pain from migraines and headaches can be debilitating, having a major impact on your overall health, performance, and concentration. Apart from interference of your daily routine, these types of pains often point to larger internal neuromuscular issues. If you are a migraine or headache sufferer, our chiropractors from West Side Comprehensive Chiropractic Care can provide different treatment plans that could address your pain effectively, without medications. Here at West Side Comprehensive Care, we want to help you get your life back by using the following approaches for headaches and migraine problems:

• Spinal adjustments: Our chiropractors commonly perform spinal adjustments or manipulations to improve the alignment and mobility of the spine. Misalignments or dysfunction in the spine, particularly in the upper neck area, may contribute to certain types of headaches. By restoring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic adjustments aim to reduce tension, pressure, and irritation on the nerves and surrounding structures, potentially alleviating headache symptoms.
• Posture correction: Poor posture, especially in the neck and upper back, can contribute to headaches. Our chiropractors can assess your posture and provide recommendations and exercises to help you improve it. By correcting posture imbalances and reducing strain on the neck and upper back, chiropractic care may help reduce headache frequency and intensity.
• Muscle tension relief: Our team of chiropractors can employ various soft tissue techniques to address muscle tension and trigger points that may cause or exacerbate headaches. These techniques can include massage, myofascial release, and stretching exercises, which aim to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation.
• Lifestyle advice: Our chiropractors often provide guidance on lifestyle modifications to help manage headaches. This may include recommendations on ergonomics, stress reduction techniques, dietary changes, hydration, and exercise. By addressing potential triggers and promoting overall wellness, chiropractic care can complement other strategies for managing headaches.
• Collaborative care: Our chiropractors may work in collaboration with other healthcare providers to provide comprehensive care for migraines or headaches. This could involve coordinating with medical doctors, neurologists, or other specialists to ensure an integrated approach to your treatment.
