Migraines & headaches — Chiropractic care in Cupey, San Juan
Living in fear of the next migraine — canceling plans, searching for a dark room, depending on pills — wears anyone down. What many people do not know is that a portion of frequent headaches is related to tension and misalignment in the neck.
Common symptoms
- Frequent headaches, or headaches that never fully go away
- Pain that starts at the back of the neck and rises toward the forehead or temples
- Sensitivity to light or noise during episodes
- Constant tension in the neck and shoulders
- Needing pain relievers frequently just to function
How we help you
When headaches have a cervical component, treating only the symptom with pills does not address the root. Dr. Martínez examines your neck and posture, with digital X-rays in our own office, to determine whether the alignment of your cervical vertebrae is contributing to your headaches.
If so, a plan of gentle adjustments and therapeutic massage can help reduce the tension that triggers episodes. Many patients report their headaches becoming less frequent and less intense with regular chiropractic care.
For seniors
For seniors already taking several medications, adding frequent pain relievers for headaches is a real concern. Chiropractic care offers a medication-free alternative that can help reduce the neck tension associated with headaches. Your Medicare plan may cover care — we verify it for you.
