Receive Natural Headache Relief In Downtown Memphis, TN

Severe or even chronic headaches can interfere with your day-to-day activities and essential functions, including your ability to focus, get a full-night’s sleep, and your overall quality of life. That’s why at our Downtown Memphis office, we provide drug-free chiropractic care that offers real and lasting relief from headaches by targeting the underlying cause of the pain rather than just dealing with the surface-level symptoms. 

Most of our patients who come in with chronic headache pain commonly experience discomfort caused by:

• Spinal misalignments

• Poor posture

• Nerve irritation or inflammation

All of which are areas where chiropractic care can make a real difference. Our treatment approach focuses on addressing these issues directly, which results in a significant reduction in neck and shoulder tension and supports the healthy function of the nervous system. 

Migraines Vs Tension Headaches: What Is The Difference?

Most of our patients who come into our Downtown Memphis office struggling with chronic headache pain often don’t understand the distinction between tension headaches and migraines, and how differently they impact the body. 

For instance, tension headaches include symptoms like:

• Dull, aching pain or pressure around the head

• Consistent tightness located in the neck, shoulders, or areas of the scalp

• The pain neither worsens nor improves with physical activity

• Consistent mild to moderate discomfort in the affected areas

On the other hand, migraines impact the body with common symptoms like:

• Targeted throbbing or pulsating pain, typically located only on one side of the head

• Heightened sensitivity to stimuli like lights, sounds, or scents

• Mild to severe nausea that can induce vomiting

• Some patients experience visual disturbances like auras

By understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing and what is the root cause of your discomfort, this can help to tailor your treatment approach to provide you with real and long-lasting relief. 

Common Causes of Headaches

There are a variety of triggers that can induce headaches or migraines, from physical to lifestyle factors, including:

• Improper posture due to extended periods of time at a desk or using a cellphone

• Misalignments in the spine or neck

• Deep tension in the neck and shoulders

• Repetitive movements

• Recovering from previous injuries such as whiplash

• Irritation or inflammation of nerves

• Restricted range of spinal movement

Once the cause of your chronic headaches or migraines is identified, that helps our team to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the key issues contributing to your discomfort.
