You’re tired of dealing with regular tension headaches that impact your day and decrease your productivity. You’re fed up with migraines that are so severe that you have to turn off the lights, close the door, and hide in bed for hours. You want real relief, not just medications that dull symptoms temporarily. You want to find out what’s causing your headaches and migraines and target these problems directly. This is where our Richmond, VA, chiropractor Dr. Aaron Wilson Cross can help.
Bye-Bye Tension Headaches
Do you find yourself rubbing your temples at work? You might not realize it but the tension in your neck could be leading to those nasty headaches. Poor posture, muscle tension, and stress are all contributing factors to headaches. Since chiropractic therapies and techniques focus on reducing muscle tension, restoring full function in the body, promoting better blood flow, and reducing stress, we can easily address many of the root causes of tension headaches.
Ease Migraine Pain
Just as we can ease tension headaches, we can also help you get your migraines under control through regular chiropractic sessions. Unfortunately, many people still don’t know that they can turn to a chiropractor to help with their migraines. Spinal manipulation therapy has shown to be particularly effective for migraine sufferers, decreasing the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms, and also decreasing the need for painkillers. Along with helping you identify what triggers your migraines so you can avoid them, we can also reduce migraine attacks by:
- Decreasing nerve irritation
- Alleviating stress and tension
- Providing specialized exercises to strengthen the muscles around the spine
- Boosting blood flow to promote natural healing
- Decreasing inflammation
