Headaches & Migraines

Finding Lasting Relief from Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are among the most common neurological conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. While many individuals dismiss headaches as “just part of life,” frequent or severe headaches can drastically reduce your quality of life, productivity, and overall health.

At Vitality Spine and Rehab, we specialize in identifying the root cause of your headaches and migraines, providing natural, drug-free, and lasting Relief. Whether you suffer from occasional tension headaches or debilitating migraines, our team is here to help restore balance and function so you can get back to living without pain.

Types of Headaches

Not all headaches are the same. Understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing is the first step toward proper treatment.

1. Tension Headaches

• The most common type of headache.
• Often described as a constant, dull ache or pressure around the forehead, temples, or back of the head.
• Usually caused by stress, poor posture, or muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders.

2. Migraines

• Intense, throbbing headaches that can last for hours or days.
• Often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light/sound, and sometimes visual disturbances (auras).
• Stress, hormonal changes, certain foods, or sleep disturbances may trigger it.

3. Cervicogenic Headaches

• Originates from issues in the neck or cervical spine.
• Pain often radiates from the back of the head to the front.
• Commonly linked to poor posture, spinal misalignments, or injuries such as whiplash.

4. Cluster Headaches

• Less common but extremely painful.
• Usually occur in cycles or “clusters” over weeks or months.
• Pain is severe and typically felt around one eye or side of the head.

Causes of Headaches and Migraines

The head itself does not always cause headaches. Often, the underlying problem involves the spine, nervous system, or surrounding muscles. Common causes include:

• Spinal misalignments are placing pressure on nerves.
• Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
• Poor posture from long hours at a desk or computer.
• Stress and anxiety, leading to chronic tension.
• Hormonal imbalances (especially with migraines).
• Environmental triggers such as bright lights, noise, or strong odours.
• Dietary triggers like caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods.
• Previous injuries such as whiplash or concussions.

How Vitality Spine and Rehab Can Help

At Vitality Spine and Rehab, our goal is not just to mask your pain with Medication but to address the root cause of your headaches. Our multidisciplinary approach combines chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle spinal adjustments help correct misalignments in the cervical spine that may be compressing nerves or restricting blood flow. Restoring proper spinal function often provides significant Relief for both tension headaches and migraines.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders is a common contributor to headaches. Techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and stretching help reduce tension and restore mobility.

Posture and Ergonomic Coaching

We evaluate your daily habits—like workstation setup, sleep position, and phone use—that may contribute to headaches. Minor adjustments can make a big difference in long-term Relief.

Lifestyle & Nutritional Guidance

Certain foods and lifestyle factors can trigger migraines. Our team guides diet, stress management, hydration, and sleep to help you avoid future flare-ups.

Rehabilitation Exercises

Strengthening and stabilizing the neck and upper back can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. We design customized exercise programs tailored to your needs.
