Chiropractic care is remarkably effective at treating tension headaches for a variety of reasons. Most tension headaches are cervicogenic, which means they emanate from the neck region. Posture through the shoulders, neck, head, and jaw can have a profound effect on producing a headache.
Repetitive stresses from posture and ergonomic stressors are going to slowly increase the tension on that neck/upper back area. Emotional stress, where we assume stressful postures such as the clenching of the jaw or the shrugging of the shoulders, can prolong muscle contracture. Posture and the prolonged contracture are the key contributors to tension headaches.
If you are experiencing tension headaches, consider making an appointment for Chiropractic Care. Our Chiropractors will use a variety of techniques and modalities to help bring balance back to your neck and upper back, including adjustments, activator, soft-tissue therapy, graston, IASTM, kinesiotaping,passive and active stretching, and exercise therapy.
You can schedule at our Pearl District office by calling (503) 719-5335 or our Lake Oswego office at (971) 330/8578.
