Headaches and migraines are commonly caused by muscle tension originating in your neck. In fact, tension anywhere along your spine can cause headaches or migraines—even pressure in your lower lumbar vertebrae. Tension headaches can be painful or even debilitating, but our migraine specialists in North Liberty specialize in this issue.
We can use targeted massage techniques to alleviate the muscle strain in your neck that causes headaches. Then we’ll perform chiropractic adjustments as needed to reduce the tension that causes muscle strain in the first place.
In addition, we may recommend exercises and lifestyle changes to improve your posture and reduce stress—which is crucial for preceding future headaches or migraines. By working to address both the symptoms and underlying causes, our goal is to provide you with long-term relief and enhance your quality of life.
