Help for Headaches in Mississauga
From a dull ache to pounding pain, headaches can keep you from enjoying life to the fullest. This common type of discomfort doesn’t have to be a regular part of your life, however. And you don’t need to rely on medication to get relief.
At Kore~Energy Chiropractic, we help patients find natural relief from various types of headaches. How? By addressing the underlying spinal and postural issues that often contribute to head pain. Our comprehensive approach targets the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.
Types of Headaches We Treat
Chiropractic care can help with tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches that originate from the neck, migraines, and even some sinus-related or postural headaches. Each type has different triggers and patterns, which is why proper assessment is crucial for effective treatment.
Understanding your specific headache pattern helps us develop the most effective treatment approach. Many headaches that people assume are “just stress” actually have a physical component that responds well to chiropractic care.
The Spine-Headache Connection
Headaches are often linked to spinal and postural problems. Misalignment in the neck can irritate nerves and muscles, leading to referred pain or restricted blood flow to the head. Poor posture, especially forward head posture from computer work, adds significant strain to the neck and upper back.
When your cervical spine isn’t functioning properly, it creates tension that can trigger headaches. The intricate network of muscles, nerves, and joints in your neck directly affects how your head feels.
Comprehensive Headache Assessment
During your exam, Dr. Korenic assesses neck alignment, muscle tension, nerve flow, and posture patterns. We pay special attention to forward head posture and upper cervical misalignments that commonly contribute to headaches.
Our thorough evaluation helps us determine whether your headaches have a structural component that chiropractic care can address. This assessment guides our treatment approach and helps predict your likely response to care.
The Importance of Consistent Care
Many patients experience fewer and less intense headaches with consistent chiropractic care. Some achieve complete relief from headaches that they’ve dealt with for years. The key is addressing the underlying mechanical problems contributing to your head pain.
We also recommend lifestyle and ergonomic changes as part of comprehensive headache care. Proper hydration, posture improvements, healthy screen time habits, stress management, and quality sleep all play important roles in headache prevention.
