What Causes Headaches?
Find Lasting Relief from Headaches Without Surgery or Medications
Headaches can stem from many sources, including muscle tension, spinal misalignments, nerve irritation, stress, and poor posture. Many headaches actually originate in the neck or upper back due to spinal misalignment and tension. By targeting these root causes with chiropractic care, we help reduce headache frequency, intensity, and duration—without relying on medication.
Headaches Can Be Triggered By Many Underlying Conditions
Spinal Misalignments
Misalignments in the cervical spine (neck) can place pressure on surrounding nerves, leading to chronic tension or cervicogenic headaches. These subluxations are often caused by poor posture, tech neck, or previous trauma. Correcting spinal alignment through chiropractic adjustments can significantly reduce both the frequency and severity of headaches.
Muscle Tension and Poor Posture
Tightness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back from prolonged sitting, looking down at devices, or improper ergonomics is one of the most searched causes of tension headaches. This strain leads to restricted blood flow and nerve compression, triggering dull, persistent head pain. Chiropractic care can address postural imbalances and release muscular tension.
Stress and Nervous System Overload
Mental and physical stress is a leading search term linked to “stress headache” and “headache behind eyes.” Stress stimulates muscle contraction and hormonal responses that cause blood vessel constriction and nerve irritation—two key headache triggers. Chiropractic care helps calm the nervous system and reduce the physical effects of stress.
Dehydration and Nutritional Deficiencies
People often search “can dehydration cause headaches?”—and the answer is yes. Lack of hydration or deficiencies in nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, or B-complex vitamins can lead to recurring migraines or tension-type headaches. At Sandstone Chiropractic, we’ll help identify these patterns and recommend holistic lifestyle changes to support better brain and nerve health.
TMJ Dysfunction (Jaw Misalignment)
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues are often overlooked causes of jaw pain and headaches near the temples. Clenching, grinding, or jaw misalignment can create muscular tension that radiates into the head. Chiropractic adjustments and muscle therapies around the jaw can provide lasting relief for headaches caused by TMJ problems.
