What causes headaches?

There are many types of headaches, some are more serious than others. This is why our comprehensive examination and health history processes are so important. The first step is to determine if chiropractic can help you with your headaches, and if not we will be sure to find the right people to help you.

We find that headaches are most commonly caused by poor posture, and structural imbalances of the spine, particularly in the neck and upper spine. When these areas are under pressure it often causes tension type headaches, cervicogenic headaches, as well as migraines.

Forward head posture is when your head sits forward of your shoulders. The further forward your head, the more pressure is placed on the joints of your neck, resulting in frequent headaches.

A sedentary lifestyle, large amounts of time sitting each day, physical trauma (such as automobile accidents), and high stress levels are all contributing factors for structural imbalances of the spine and poor posture.

How can Absolute Chiropractic in Rio Rancho help you with headaches?

Pain medications are commonly used to deal with headaches, but unfortunately this approach only provides temporary relief by masking the symptoms rather than fixing the underlying cause.

Our focus is not only to provide relief from your symptoms, but also to correct the cause of your headaches, so you can experience lasting results and great health, all without the nasty side effects of long-term pain medication use.

We do this through improving your spinal alignment and posture, using a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic technique.
