Why Do You Keep Getting Headaches?
Headache pain can come in many different forms and have many different, even multiple root causes. Most people report their headache medications do not perform as well as they hoped—and they still miss days of work or cherished time with friends and family.
The cause of headaches is often difficult to determine, which is likely why few practitioners even attempt answering the "why" question. At LifeWorks, we never skip this pivotal piece of the puzzle and never stop asking "why."
#1

Headache Questions Answered
We treat all types of headaches including tension headaches, migraines, cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck), cluster headaches, and headaches from posture and muscle tension. Headache pain can come in many different forms and have multiple root causes—we find YOUR specific cause to provide lasting relief.
Headaches are the #1 reason people seek chiropractic care. Both migraine and tension headaches can be linked to problems with the back or spine. A properly aligned spine helps with both muscle tightness and pain which can cause both types of headaches. When your spine is aligned, it doesn't strain muscles—which means fewer headache triggers.
Medications used for headache and migraine relief often leave you feeling drowsy or unable to continue with your daily activities. More importantly, they only mask the symptom—they don't address the underlying cause. That's why headaches keep coming back. Our approach finds and fixes the root cause for lasting relief.
Many of our services are covered by insurance, including BCBS, United, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. We'll verify your coverage during your evaluation so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer flexible payment plans so you can get the care you need.
Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits. However, lasting relief requires addressing the root cause, which may take several weeks depending on your specific situation. During your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline and treatment plan tailored to your needs.
