Helping You Find Relief and Get Back to Living Your Life

Headaches and migraines can have a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you're struggling to focus at work, enjoy time with your family, exercise, or simply make it through the day comfortably, recurring headaches can be frustrating and exhausting.

At Depretis Chiropractic and Total Wellness, we evaluate patients experiencing headaches and migraines to identify potential musculoskeletal factors that may be contributing to their symptoms. By understanding the source of the problem, we can develop an individualized treatment plan designed to improve function, reduce tension, and help patients experience fewer interruptions to their daily lives.

Whether your headaches occur occasionally or have become a chronic issue, a thorough evaluation can help determine the most appropriate treatment options.

Common Types of Headaches

Several different types of headaches can cause similar symptoms. Common headache conditions include:

• ✓Tension headaches
• ✓Cervicogenic headaches
• ✓Migraine headaches
• ✓Headaches associated with neck pain
• ✓Postural headaches
• ✓Headaches related to muscle tension

Because different headache types may require different treatment approaches, identifying the underlying cause is an important first step.

Why Do Headaches Keep Coming Back?

Recurring headaches often involve more than the head itself. Many patients experiencing headaches also have contributing factors such as:

• ✓Neck pain
• ✓Joint restrictions
• ✓Muscle tension
• ✓Poor posture
• ✓Repetitive stress
• ✓Movement dysfunction
• ✓Previous injuries

When these factors are not addressed, headaches may continue to return despite temporary symptom relief.

How We Evaluate Headaches and Migraines

Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made. Depending on your symptoms, this may include:

• ✓Health history review
• ✓Orthopedic testing
• ✓Neurological assessment
• ✓Cervical spine evaluation
• ✓Range of motion testing
• ✓Postural assessment
• ✓Functional movement evaluation
• ✓Digital X-rays when clinically appropriate

The goal is to determine whether musculoskeletal factors may be contributing to your headaches and identify the most appropriate treatment approach.

How We Treat Headaches and Migraines

Treatment recommendations are based on the individual's symptoms, examination findings, and diagnosis.

Headaches, Neck Pain, and Posture

It is common for headache sufferers to also experience:

• ✓Neck stiffness
• ✓Upper back tension

Addressing these factors may play an important role in helping patients improve function and reduce headache frequency.
