A headache is one of the most common health-related issues facing adults. Chronic, recurring, or acute headaches can affect every area of your life. At Longview Chiropractic Center, our goal is to identify your headache triggers or the underlying cause of your headaches, and design a personalized approach towards headache treatment in Longview, TX. The most common causes of headaches are stress, muscle tension, and spinal misalignments. The most common types of headaches are tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches. 

Understanding the Chiropractic Approach

Our chiropractor, Dr. Gary Lipkin, focuses on a holistic, drug-free approach towards headache treatment. He will focus on improving the health of your spine and nervous system to address your headache triggers. A common cause of headaches is spinal misalignments, which can increase stress and strain on the body, leading to aches, pains, and reduced immune function. 

Types of Headaches Addressed by Chiropractic Care

Dr. Lipkin has extensive education, training, and experience treating tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches. He takes an individualized approach that addresses the underlying cause of your headache, rather than using prescription medication to mask your symptoms. 

Spinal Adjustments and Headache Relief

Chiropractic adjustments are a non-invasive, drug-free headache treatment method that corrects spinal misalignments and reduces tension in the head, neck, and shoulders. Adjustments can improve posture and balance, promote immune function, increase circulation, and alleviate headache symptoms.

Posture and Lifestyle Recommendations

In addition to our in-office chiropractic care for headaches, we will also make recommendations for lifestyle and workplace modifications to reduce your risk of future headaches. We may suggest that you make ergonomic improvements to your workstation, such as using monitor stands, adjustable office furniture, and glare-reducing lighting or monitor screens to reduce eye strain and stress. We may also suggest you change your diet, exercise more, get more sleep, drink more water, avoid alcohol, try stress-relief techniques, and avoid other headache triggers.
