What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper joint movement and alignment, especially when joints become misaligned or subluxated. This realignment, known as an adjustment, is performed by a licensed chiropractor to improve mobility, relieve tension, and support overall wellness.
While chiropractic adjustments are most commonly associated with the spine, they can also help relieve headaches and migraines by addressing underlying musculoskeletal and nervous system imbalances.
Dr. Ellis has extensive training in extremity and cranial-related adjusting, including the TMJ, jaw, ears, and head, as well as the shoulders, arms, hips, knees, and ankles—allowing for more comprehensive, whole-body care.
Many headaches stem from neck tension, poor posture, or spinal misalignment, all of which chiropractic care can effectively treat.
How Chiropractic Helps with Headaches
Have you ever had a headache that radiated from the back of your neck?
You’re not alone, many people experience this.
Many headaches, especially tension headaches and neck-related headaches, begin when joints in the spine become stiff or restricted due to stress, muscle tightness, or past injuries, particularly where the head meets the neck.
These restrictions can lead to:
🚨 Muscle tension and limited movement in the neck and shoulders
🚨 Irritated nerves that send pain signals to the head, ears, or jaw
🚨 Poor circulation, contributing to inflammation and headache flare-ups
Chiropractic adjustments gently restore movement to these joints, helping to:
✅ Reduce neck tension and headache frequency
✅ Improve posture and decrease stress-related headaches
✅ Support healthy nervous system function and pain regulation
✅ Increase blood flow to reduce inflammation and promote healing
🌿 This is where pain-focused care transitions into wellness care — supporting long-term headache relief, prevention, and better overall health.
