You Don't Have To Live With Headaches or Migraines
​
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints, but when they happen frequently, they can take over your life. For some, it’s the dull ache that never seems to leave. For others, it’s a pounding headache that makes it hard to focus, work, or enjoy time with family. Migraines can be even more debilitating, bringing nausea, light sensitivity, and hours (or even days) of lost productivity.
​
Many people try to push through the pain, relying on medication that only masks the symptoms. At Spinal Health Group in Springfield, Dr. Josh takes a different approach—working to uncover the underlying causes of headaches and migraines and provide natural, lasting relief.
​
Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines
​
Headaches and migraines can be triggered by many different factors, including:
​
-
Stress and muscle tension, especially in the neck and shoulders
-
Poor posture or long hours at a computer
-
Misalignments in the neck or spine that irritate nerves
-
Eye strain or screen fatigue
-
Dehydration or nutritional issues
-
Hormonal changes or imbalances
-
Injuries such as whiplash or concussions
Because headaches often have more than one cause, it’s important to have a thorough evaluation to identify what’s contributing to your pain.

How Spinal Health Group Helps With Headaches and Migraines
​
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy function to the spine and nervous system, which play a major role in headache and migraine patterns. At Spinal Health Group, Dr. Josh creates personalized care plans to help reduce pain and improve overall quality of life.
​
Your care may include:
​
-
Gentle chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal misalignments
-
Soft tissue therapy to release tension in the neck and shoulders
-
Spinal decompression or mobilization for disc-related issues
-
Lifestyle guidance on posture, ergonomics, and stress reduction
-
Recommendations for hydration, sleep habits, and simple at-home stretches
By addressing the root cause instead of just the symptoms, many patients experience fewer headaches, less severe migraines, and improved overall well-being.
