Treatment for Headaches and Migraines

Do you suffer from intense, recurring headaches? Head pain has many different causes and sources, but it's ultimately a symptom of a bigger problem in your head, neck or elsewhere in your body.

At Mount Pleasant Neck & Back Center, we offer comprehensive chiropractic care for headaches and migraines Dr. Randy Briesacher will focus on your entire body to find effective solutions for your headaches and the physical conditions that caused them.

Treating Common Types of Headaches

We treat many types of problems related to pain from dull throbs to excruciating pressure in your head. The following headaches are among the most common, but each category includes a wide range of contributing factors and side effects. If headaches interfere with your ability to enjoy life and function normally, you may recognize your symptoms below.

Tension Headaches – Non-localized pain caused by contracted muscles in the neck, shoulders or jaw; sources include anxiety, eye strain, insomnia and poor posture

Sinus Headaches – Pounding pain and pressure around your nose, eyes and cheekbones, caused by infected or inflamed sinus passages

Migraine Headaches – Debilitating, often recurring localized head pain that coincides with hallucinations, nausea and other symptoms

     Cluster Headaches - Localized, intense pain that occurs in patterns  behind or near  your eyes

     Cervicogenic Headaches – pain located at the base of the skull and wraps up around the head

Dry Needling

If you suffer from chronic headaches, tension headaches, migraines, or neck pain, dry needling may provide lasting relief. At Mount Pleasant Neck & Back Center, we use dry needling therapy to treat muscle trigger points in the neck, shoulders, and upper back that often cause headache pain. Tight muscles and irritated nerves in these areas are a common source of tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches. By targeting and releasing these trigger points, dry needling helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and decrease inflammation—leading to fewer headaches and less severe migraine symptoms. If you are searching for natural headache treatment or drug-free migraine relief, dry needling could be an effective solution to help you feel better and get back to your daily activities.

Spinal Manipulations for Headache Pain

Your spinal cord and brain are connected by highly sensitive nerves, and when your spine is misaligned or you experience physical or psychological stress, the nerves in your head may react. If your headaches are caused by subluxations, misplaced vertebrae or slipped discs, Dr Randy Briesacher will manually correct them while releasing tension from your soft tissues.
