Celina Headaches

How can a chiropractic treatment fix my headaches?

Spinal manipulation, adjustments, laser therapy, specific exercises and soft tissue therapy are all part of the guidelines for the treatment of headaches, but did you know acupuncture in Celina can also help?

Chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture have been proven to help reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of headaches. Furthermore, acupuncture treatments can also decrease the number of painkillers that headache sufferers have to take and that is always a good thing. Wondering what happens during an acupuncture visit at our clinic?

If you are diagnosed with a headache that is coming from your neck (Cervicogenic Headache) our chiropractor has an entire protocol built for you. Once treatment has started you will most likely be advised to limit your screen time and increase your physical activity.

4 Steps for Treating Headaches at our Celina Clinic

Once the proper diagnosis has been given and the headaches are coming from your neck or your jaw here’s the protocol

  • Soft Tissue Therapy: Soft Tissue therapy is applied to the neck or jaw to loosen up the tissue and get a ton of blood flow to the area. At our Celina clinic, Dr. Dillan administers these treatments using his hands.

  • Laser Therapy for Headache Treatment: Laser therapy treatment depends on the diagnosis, but we will likely place the laser on your mid-back and even on the inside of your shoulders. For chronic Cervicogenic Headaches our chiropractor recommends lighter intensity laser in the cervical spine and the suboccipital muscles.

  • Active Release and Trigger Point Therapy of the neck muscles: Picture the opposite of a relaxing massage when our chiropractic team finds those tight and tender points of your neck. Most patients will get a few passes of ART on each of the involved muscles.

  • Chiropractic Neck Adjustment for Headaches: All the work done before this moment was used to loosen up the tissue of the neck and upper shoulders/mid back. Dr. Dillan has found greater results with this approach than just an adjustment on the cervical spine. In most cases headache sufferers have one or two joints of their cervical spine locked up, causing tightness and inflammation, irritating a nerve and ultimately causing the headache.
