Relief for Headaches in St. Petersburg
Headaches can interrupt your focus, disrupt your sleep, and limit your ability to enjoy daily activities. Whether you are dealing with tension headaches, migraines, or headaches that originate in the neck, the discomfort can be draining. Dr. Desulme provides gentle, targeted chiropractic care to address the underlying causes of headaches so you can find natural, lasting relief without relying on medication.
Common Causes of Headaches
Headaches may have many different triggers, but issues with the spine, posture, and nervous system are often involved. These may include poor posture or forward head position, spinal misalignments, muscle tension from stress, strain in the neck or upper back, jaw dysfunction, hormonal influences, or nerve interference. Identifying and addressing these root factors is key to reducing both frequency and intensity.
Types of Headaches We Commonly See
Many patients seek our care for relief from:
- Tension headaches, often caused by stress or tight muscles in the neck and shoulders
- Migraines, which may include nausea, light sensitivity, or visual changes
- Cervicogenic headaches, which begin in the neck but can mimic migraines
- Cluster headaches, marked by sharp, localized pain around one eye or one side of the head
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Rather than simply masking pain, chiropractic care works to restore proper spinal alignment and improve nervous system communication. This can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, improve posture, release tension in the neck and upper back, and support long-term healing.
Spinal Adjustments
Misalignments in the cervical spine can irritate nerves and affect blood flow, both of which can contribute to headaches. Gentle adjustments help restore alignment and reduce pressure.
Postural Correction
Long hours at a desk or on digital devices can strain muscles and joints. We assess your posture and provide targeted corrections to reduce stress on the neck and shoulders.
Lifestyle Support
Simple changes to ergonomics, hydration, sleep habits, and stress management can make a significant difference in headache prevention.
