How Our Headache Care Plan Works
1. Corrective
This initial stage focuses on addressing specific spinal misalignments and dysfunctions. Through targeted adjustments and specialized techniques, the goal is to restore proper alignment and function to the spine. This phase often involves intensive care to correct existing issues and alleviate pain.
2. Stabilization
The stabilization stage aims to reinforce the changes made. This involves strengthening surrounding muscles, improving posture, and ensuring that the spine maintains its proper alignment over time. Patients typically engage in exercises and receive ongoing adjustments to support long-term stability.
3. Wellness
The final stage emphasizes maintaining optimal spinal health and overall well-being. Wellness care involves regular check-ups and adjustments to prevent future issues and support a healthy lifestyle. This proactive approach helps patients maintain their progress, enhance quality of life, and promote overall health and wellness.
An Overview of Common Types of Headaches
Almost everyone experience headache once in a while. The kind of pain and duration can vary depending on the type of headache. The primary types of headaches involve:
- Tension headache
- Cluster headache
- Migraine headache
Tension headaches
Tension headaches are the most common headache pains. They tend to be mild to moderate and consistent without throbbing. They appear as pain in the neck, scalp, and head. And because tension headache is a combination of stress and back strain, chiropractic care is a good solution to provide relief.
Cluster headache
Cluster headaches are relatively short but painful headaches. They tend to appear same time each year. For instance, you can experience them every fall or spring season. The pain is situated around one eye and may travel to other areas of the face, head, and neck.
Migraine
Migraine can be moderate to severe pain that can cause nausea and sensitivity to light and odor. This pain can last for hours to three days. Many people with this condition experience neck pain, while others report muscle tension and issues with jaw function.
Chiropractic care involves treating these symptoms and relieving the underlying issues. A chiropractor may suggest therapies or lifestyle changes to reduce pain.
Chiropractic Adjustment for Headache Relief in Fargo, ND
Chiropractic care is a safe and non-invasive method to relieve pain caused by tension and migraine headaches. At Peak Spine + Wellness, we provide gentle and non-addictive therapies. Our treatment options include:
- Soft tissue therapy
- Manual therapy
- Electrical stimulation, acupuncture, and ultrasound
- Lifestyle change and education
Our chiropractors will perform spinal manipulation on your neck or adjust your back depending on your examination results. Also, they can use X-ray films to identify vertebrates that are out of place or those that are causing pressure on your nerves. At times, extra stress on the nervous system can prevent your body from functioning well, which can cause headaches.
This manipulation will help you deal with your current headaches and reduce tension build-up and future headache pain. In addition to chiropractic therapy, Peak Spine + Wellness experts will suggest lifestyle adjustments to prevent headaches from occurring.
We start by figuring out the root cause of your headache. For instance, tension headaches can be attributed to staying in one position for long hours. A prolonged period in one position can build muscle tension in your neck, making you susceptible to headaches.
Headaches can also be a result of:
- Poor sleeping habits
- Dehydration
- Stress
- Eating certain foods
Simple changes such as mitigating stress, changing diet, and having enough sleep can make headaches less frequent.
