Request an AppointmentMuch success has been had providing relief from the following types of headaches:
Tension headaches
Tension headaches often have their source right next door—in the neck. Persistently tense muscles, poor posture and accumulated trauma that damages the alignment or free movement of the neck can all cause headaches.
Migraine headaches
Migraines are mental, physical and emotional ordeals that can last from a few hours to a few days. These headaches are marked by severe throbbing or pulsing pain and may include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, visual changes, fluctuating moods and weakness.
The solution for headaches depends on what our examination finds. Here at Valleyview Injury + Physical Medicine, we work closely with every patient to look at any factors that could be triggering their pain. Then we can develop the right treatment plan to alleviate the cause.
Treatment Options for Headache Relief:
Chiropractic Adjustments
For a back to be pain-free, the vertebrae must be flexible and in good alignment. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and mobility to each joint and correct the curve of the spine.
Massage Therapy
Our therapists utilize numerous techniques including Swedish/relaxation, auto accident recovery, sports injury and deep tissue massage tailored to your specific condition.
Physical Rehabilitation
People with headaches have often lost the full range of motion of neck, back or shoulders without realizing it. Specific therapy to restore proper range of motion, flexibility and strength goes a very long way toward restoring optimum balance throughout the body.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
A damaged or herniated disc in the neck can cause a persistent headache. Spinal decompression gently stretches and releases the vertebrae in the neck to allow fluids to hydrate each disc, improving healing.
