Headache Relief in Greenville
According to the National Headache Foundation, approximately 45 million Americans struggle with headaches annually. Chronic headaches and migraines can disrupt your daily life, causing missed workdays, reduced productivity, and diminished overall well-being. While over-the-counter medications may offer short-term relief, they only mask symptoms instead of addressing their root causes.
We don’t put bandages on problems. Instead, our practice focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of headaches, offering natural, long-lasting solutions tailored to your needs. With nearly 40 years of experience and expertise, Dr. Brown is a trusted provider of high-quality chiropractic care in Greenville.
Common Causes and Triggers
Headaches often stem from physical imbalances or lifestyle factors such as muscle tension, spinal misalignments, poor posture, dehydration, and dietary sensitivities. Our chiropractor will uncover and treat the underlying causes of headaches, offering effective, natural relief.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Dr. Brown will conduct a thorough new patient examination, including neurological and orthopedic tests, as well as X-rays, if necessary. After analyzing your evaluations, he will explain what he found and offer his recommendations for care.
How We Can Help
Many headaches, especially tension and cervicogenic ones, are linked to neck problems such as misaligned vertebrae or restricted movement. Chiropractic adjustments correct these issues, offering benefits like reduced nerve irritation, eased muscle tension, and improved blood flow to the neck and head. Complementary therapies, such as soft tissue techniques and rehabilitative exercises, may also be incorporated for maximum results.
Our goal is to provide the care necessary to prevent your pain from returning.
Natural Ways to Prevent Headaches
While chiropractic care is highly effective, incorporating healthy lifestyle habits can also help reduce headache frequency and severity:
Watch Your Diet
Certain foods and beverages may trigger headaches, including red wine, aged cheese, gluten, and processed foods containing nitrites (e.g., hot dogs). To help identify and avoid triggers, it’s a good idea to track your diet with a food diary.
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration is a common cause of headaches. To stay properly hydrated, aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Maintain Proper Posture
Poor posture can strain your neck and shoulders, contributing to headaches. Practice ergonomic sitting and standing positions to reduce tension.
