Headaches & Migraines

Tired of Living with Headaches?

Headaches and migraines can be more than just an inconvenience—they can disrupt your work, workouts, sleep, and time with your family. Whether it’s a dull, nagging tension headache or a debilitating migraine that knocks you out for the day, these symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right.

At Elevated Health Chiropractic, located in Lincoln, NE, we focus on identifying and treating the root cause of your headaches—not just masking the symptoms.

COMMON TYPES OF HEADACHES WE SEE

Not all headaches are created equal. Understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing is the first step toward effective treatment.

Tension Headaches

• Most common type
• Often feel like a tight band around the head
• Typically caused by muscle tension, stress, or poor posture

Cervicogenic Headaches

• Originate from the neck
• Often one-sided and can radiate to the forehead or behind the eyes
• Common in people with desk jobs or previous neck injuries

Migraines

• Moderate to severe intensity
• May include nausea, light sensitivity, or visual disturbances
• Can last hours to days and significantly impact daily life

WHAT CAUSES HEADACHES?

Headaches are rarely random—they usually stem from underlying dysfunction in the body. Some of the most common contributors include:

• Neck and upper back stiffness or joint restriction
• Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw
• Poor posture (especially from desk work or phone use)
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Previous injuries (whiplash, concussions, etc.)

In many cases, headaches are linked to dysfunction in the cervical spine, which can irritate surrounding nerves and muscles.

HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP

Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to relieving headaches and migraines. The goal isn’t just to reduce pain—it’s to improve how your body functions overall.

Chiropractic treatment may help by:

• Improving joint mobility in the neck and upper back
• Reducing muscle tension and tightness
• Decreasing irritation to surrounding nerves
• Improving posture and movement patterns

Research and clinical experience show that addressing spinal dysfunction and soft tissue restrictions can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.
