“I work out. I drink plenty of water. So WHY do I have headaches all the time?” 😵💫
Here’s the thing: headaches aren’t always a sign that you need to drink more water or hit the gym more often.
Frequent headaches can have a lot of different contributors…including migraine, tension-type headaches, sleep, stress, caffeine, medication overuse, and in some cases, issues involving the neck. (AAFP)
That’s why our first question isn’t, “How quickly can we adjust you?”
It’s: What kind of headache are you actually having?
As an evidence-based chiropractor, we look at your headache history, neck mobility, muscle function, daily habits, training, sleep, and other symptoms to determine whether there’s a musculoskeletal component we can actually help with.
For certain headaches that originate from the neck (called cervicogenic headaches), research suggests manual therapy combined with exercise may help reduce headache intensity, frequency, and disability. (NCCIH)
And sometimes the right answer is chiropractic care.
Sometimes it’s changing a few habits.
And sometimes it’s referring you to another healthcare provider for further evaluation.
Because if you’re getting headaches all the time, the goal shouldn’t just be to keep treating the headache.
It should be to figure out why it keeps happening 🧠
