Why Do Headaches Happen?
Headaches can stem from various causes—stress, dehydration, hormones—but one of the most overlooked triggers is spinal misalignment, particularly in the neck (cervical spine).
Misalignments or tension in this area can:
- Irritate surrounding nerves
- Restrict blood flow to the brain
- Cause tightness in upper back and shoulder muscles
- Contribute to forward head posture ("tech neck")
- Increase stress and tension buildup
These factors can trigger recurring head pain, even when you don't realize your spine is the source.
The Types of Headaches Chiropractic Can Help With
At SISU Spine & Rehab, we commonly treat:
1. Tension Headaches
These feel like a tight band squeezing your head and typically stem from stress, poor posture, and neck tension.
2. Cervicogenic Headaches
These start in the neck and typically cause pain on one side of the head or behind the eyes.
3. Migraines
While more complex in nature, many migraines relate to nerve irritation, poor posture, or spinal misalignments that respond well to chiropractic care.
"I was having headaches at least three times a week. Painkillers helped temporarily, but they kept coming back. After seeing Dr. Serbinski, I not only have fewer headaches—I feel like I got my brain back."— Laura K., Springboro
