Chronic headaches are a debilitating condition that often disrupts the daily lives of those who experience them. While many turn to over-the-counter medications for relief, these solutions often provide only temporary respite and fail to address the underlying causes of headaches. Chiropractic care at Belleview Spine and Wellness in Greenwood Village, CO, offers a natural, non-invasive alternative that can provide long-term relief from chronic headaches by targeting the root of the problem.

We Start by Correcting Misalignments in the Spine

Many headaches, particularly tension headaches, are linked to misalignments in the spine, especially in the neck and upper back. These misalignments, known as subluxations, can create tension and strain on the muscles and nerves, leading to headaches. By performing gentle adjustments, Dr. Donald W. Gibson realigns the spine, reducing nerve irritation and muscle tension, which can significantly decrease the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Releasing Tension With Soft Tissue Therapies

In addition to spinal adjustments, Dr. Gibson may utilize soft tissue therapies, such as shockwave therapy or myofascial release, to alleviate muscle tightness that can contribute to headaches. These therapies help to relax the muscles around the neck and shoulders, reducing the tension that often triggers headaches.

Providing Ergonomic and Lifestyle Advice

Dr. Gibson also focuses on lifestyle and ergonomic factors that may contribute to chronic headaches. He can provide guidance on posture, ergonomics, and stress management techniques to help prevent headaches from occurring in the first place. By addressing these external factors, chiropractic care offers a comprehensive approach to headache management.
