Understanding Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain. They are often caused by:
- Tension and stress
- Poor posture
- Neck and spine misalignments
- Hormonal changes
- Environmental or dietary triggers
Migraines, in particular, can include symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and throbbing pain. Left untreated, these conditions can significantly impact your quality of life.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Dr. Kevin Wong utilizes a holistic approach to address the root causes of headaches and migraines. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring spinal alignment, relieving tension, and improving overall nervous system function. By targeting the underlying issues, we aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of your pain.
Our treatments include:
- Spinal Adjustments
Misalignments in the neck and upper spine can contribute to headaches. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help improve alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and relieve pain. - Soft Tissue Therapy
Tension in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, and upper back often triggers headaches. Soft tissue therapy releases tightness and promotes relaxation. - Cold Laser Therapy
Using state-of-the-art laser technology, Dr. Wong provides targeted pain relief by reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. - Postural Corrections
Poor posture, often caused by prolonged sitting or screen use, is a common contributor to headaches. We provide ergonomic advice and corrective exercises to help you maintain proper posture and prevent future episodes. - Lifestyle and Nutritional Guidance
Identifying and managing triggers is a key component of long-term relief. Dr. Wong offers personalized advice to help you manage stress, improve your diet, and avoid headache-inducing factors.
