Are tension headaches a constant companion in your daily life? Dr. Todd Thompson at Health360 in Temple, TX offers effective and lasting methods of relief.
Treating Tension Headaches With Chiropractic Care
Tension headaches are a very common issue. And sadly, when they come, it can be difficult to get through the day.
These headaches are typically caused by sitting with poor posture, tension in the neck and shoulders, and stress. Instead of relying on medication to temporarily alleviate the suffering, though, Dr. Thompson at Health360 in Temple, TX can help you find more lasting relief with various chiropractic methods, including those listed below.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A misalignment in the neck can lead to tension, as those muscles work harder to hold your head upright. Additionally, when tension is present in the neck and shoulders, it pulls on the bones, which can lead to misalignment. In either case, adjustments are effective in restoring alignment and releasing that tension.
Myofascial Therapy
Sometimes, tension and pain come from knots in the muscles which need additional attention. Myofascial therapy is a method through which these knots are addressed and released.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy has always been effective in releasing tension in the body, but chiropractic massage can provide additional benefits for tension headache sufferers. As your massage therapist works troubled areas, they can move your body to more effectively address that tension. These acts not only naturally relieve the source of tension headaches but also improve blood flow, range of motion, and more.
Traction Therapy
Traction is a chiropractic method that is utilized to stretch the neck and spine. This creates space for the muscles and other components, relieving tension and pressure throughout the soft tissues.
Lifestyle Guidance
No matter the root cause of your tension headaches, our chiropractor can walk you through steps to help address them. This can include stretches you can do at home, stress management exercises, adjustments to your workspace, posture improvement, and much more.
