Headache Relief

Headaches come in different types and have different causes. They can be very disruptive to your life, especially if they happen frequently. If you want relief from headaches in Litchfield, MN, our chiropractors Dr. Timothy Kinsella, Dr. Mark Mahoney, and Dr. Nathan Turck at Kinsella Chiropractic Clinic offer holistic, non-medicated help. 

Chiropractic Adjustments for Headaches

People who suffer from migraines also commonly report pain in their neck. When the vertebrae in the neck are out of alignment, it affects the soft tissues in the neck as well and, if they are stressed, it can translate into other types of pain, including headaches. A chiropractic adjustment to the neck can offer relief that other methods can't.  By locating and correcting any misalignment in the neck and upper back, your chiropractor can help to provide relief. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method of treating disruptions of energy in the body. By inserting needles at key points, we can stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanics and reset hormonal and nerve responses that may be contributing to stress. Among other things, this therapy is used to treat tension headaches and migraines. 

The Graston Technique

The Graston Technique uses stainless steel instruments to release restrictions in the soft tissues.  It stretches muscles and improves blood flow to the area where the instruments are applied. It can promote relaxation in the soft tissues of the neck, which may be the cause of some types of headaches. 

Therapeutic Exercise

Exercises of the neck, especially stretches, have been used for years to help with headaches. Your chiropractor will give you a program of exercises to do at home, where you can do them at the first sign that a headache may be coming on.
