Help for Headaches in South Brunswick
Headaches are something almost everyone deals with at some point, but when they become a regular part of your week, they shouldn’t be brushed off as just stress or screen time. At Grossman Chiropractic & Physical Therapy, we take headaches seriously because we know how much they can impact your daily life.
What Kind of Headache Are You Dealing With?
Not all headaches are the same, and figuring out what is driving yours makes a real difference in how we approach your care.
Tension Headaches
These are the most common type and are often tied to muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders, poor posture, or long hours at a desk. They tend to feel like a dull, squeezing pressure around the head.
Cervicogenic Headaches
These originate in the cervical spine and are frequently linked to forward head posture, spinal misalignment, or a previous whiplash injury. The pain often starts at the base of the skull and works its way up one side of the head.
Migraines
Migraines can bring on throbbing pain, light and sound sensitivity, nausea, and visual changes. While they have neurological roots, spinal tension and muscular dysfunction are often contributing factors that are worth addressing.
How We Help
Our approach looks at the whole picture. By restoring proper alignment and mobility in the cervical spine, we work to reduce muscle tension, decrease nerve irritation, and improve your posture so headaches become less frequent and less intense. We’ll walk you through exactly what we are doing and why, because an informed patient is part of the solution.
Find Relief That Lasts
If you are getting headaches more than once a week, noticing that the pain starts in your neck, or reaching for over-the-counter medication more than you would like, it’s worth getting evaluated. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.
