Millions of people in the United States suffer from headaches of different varieties. These headaches can be annoying, painful, and downright debilitating. While many people turn to medication for relief from headaches, this offers little more than temporary relief and in some cases, relief is not achieved. The root of the issue remains, causing headaches to be persistent.
At DiSabatino Chiropractic & Rehab, Inc., we offer comprehensive headache and migraine relief services performed by a licensed chiropractor in the Mission Valley and San Diego, CA area. Our clinic is focused on determining the cause of headaches and developing a customized treatment plan to help patients find long lasting relief that allows them to maintain a healthy, active, and satisfying lifestyle.
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines in Mission Valley, San Diego
One of the most common causes of tension type headaches and migraine headaches is subluxations in the vertebrae of the neck and the upper back. These subluxations, or misalignments of the vertebrae, can cause the nearby muscles to go into spasms. This can cause tension in the area of the subluxation, as well as referred pain in the back, top, or front of the head.
At DiSabatino Chiropractic & Rehab, Inc., our goal is to remedy misalignments in the spine and relax the surrounding muscles in the area. We are able to use a variety of tried and true chiropractic techniques to achieve marked improvement in the pain and discomfort that a patient experiences.
Cervical Vertebrae Adjustments
A highly effective treatment for tension type and migraine headaches is an adjustment of the cervical vertebrae. We offer both traditional adjustments and low force chiropractic adjustments. With low force adjustments, the chiropractor uses soft pressure during adjustments, while focusing on allowing the body to ease gently ease into the experience, with the least amount of discomfort and disruption in alignment as possible. For patients with active headaches and migraines, a low force technique may provide better relief, however, our chiropractors will take your medical history and symptoms into account in order to create an individualized treatment plan for you.
Hot/Cold Therapy
Hot and cold therapy has been proven to be extremely effective for a variety of headache types. By either opening up the blood vessels in the head or constricting them, depending on the type of headache, relief can be achieved. Not only can hot or cold therapy decrease the patient's pain and discomfort, it can provide greater freedom of movement and an improved sense of well-being.
At DiSabatino Chiropractic & Rehab, Inc., our goal is to help our patients achieve total relief from headaches and migraines, so they can continue living a happy, healthy life. Our compassionate and highly trained chiropractors can develop a unique care plan for you and will work one on one with you to assist you in meeting your health and wellness goals.
