Headache and Migraine Relief in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area
Most adults experience headaches, and for some they are frequent, intensely painful, or even accompanied by nausea. At I Heart Chiro, we provide drug-free chiropractic care for headaches and migraines at your home or office anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth, focusing on the neck, posture, and muscle tension that often trigger them.
Types of Headaches
The vast majority of headaches are tension, migraine, or cluster headaches. These are typically not caused by disease but by something in the body that is not working correctly, such as tight muscles, joint restrictions in the neck, or stress.
- Tension headaches: A band-like pressure around the head, often linked to neck and shoulder tension
- Migraines: Throbbing pain, often on one side, sometimes with nausea, light sensitivity, or visual changes
- Cervicogenic headaches: Pain that starts in the neck and refers into the head
- Cluster headaches: Intense, recurring headaches that occur in cycles
Common Headache Triggers
Poor posture, long hours at a computer or phone, stress, poor sleep, dehydration, jaw clenching from TMJ problems, and neck injuries such as whiplash can all trigger headaches.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Your chiropractor will evaluate your neck, upper back, posture, and lifestyle to identify triggers. Care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to the neck and upper back, muscle therapy for tight neck and shoulder muscles, corrective exercises, and ergonomic and lifestyle guidance. Many patients with headaches also have neck pain or shoulder pain, which we address together.
When to Seek Emergency Care
A sudden, severe headache, a headache after a head injury, or headaches with weakness, confusion, vision loss, or fever need immediate medical attention.
