Migraine/Headache Chiropractor Tucson

Headaches and migraines can disrupt your daily activities. If you experience them often, they can impact your quality of life. Many of our patients delay their visit to our Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation because they thought medications could do the trick. But to relieve these conditions, you need to fix the root and not just the symptoms.

Dr. Heaton is a migraine and headache chiropractor in Tucson, AZ, who can fix the root cause of your headaches. If this condition is running your life, then it’s time for you to visit our chiropractor. Unlike traditional treatments, our chiropractic therapy involves correcting the problem at the source without the use of medications or surgery.

How to Know If Your Headaches Are Related to Your Spine?

Most headaches are related to muscle tension in the neck. If you hunch over or lean into your computer for so long, then it causes poor cervical neck curvature that leads to headaches.

If your spine is misaligned, the muscles around it tighten to compensate. Nerves become irritated, as well, causing pain in your head. This also creates migraines. Thankfully, chiropractic treatments can address them all.

What are the Types of headaches that our Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation Clinic Can Treat?

Headaches have many causes. The best form of treatment depends on the cause of your pain. Here at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation, we treat the following types of headaches:

• Tension headaches: When the muscles between your head and neck knot up, they cause headaches.
• Migraines with or without aura
• Headaches because of poor posture
• Post-traumatic headaches after car accidents
• Headaches because of stress

What are the Common Causes of Headaches?

Knowing the cause of your headaches is vital so that Dr. Heaton can design a treatment plan for your situation. Here are the common triggers that our patients complain of:

• Disrupted sleep patterns
• Whiplash or neck injuries
• Cervical spine misalignment
• Muscle tension
• Trigger points in the neck and shoulders
• Stress
• Dehydration

What are the Treatment Options for Migraines and Headaches?

Before a treatment plan is provided, Dr. Heaton will first conduct a thorough evaluation of your spine. He will examine your posture and muscle function. This is necessary to determine the contributing factors to your headaches or migraines. He may even request an X-ray to further evaluate your case. After getting the results, Dr. Heaton will provide a personalized care plan.

Your treatment may include one or some of the following:

• Spinal manipulation
• Soft tissue therapy
• Cold laser therapy
• Postural correction guidance
• Lifestyle recommendations to reduce personal triggers

Treat the Cause, Not Just the Pain

Pain relievers won’t fix your issue. This is especially true if your headaches are caused by spine misalignment. Many of our patients at Arizona Chiropractic and Spine Rehabilitation report significant improvement in their headaches after Dr. Heaton corrects their structural issues.
