Headaches can affect your ability to work, sleep, concentrate, exercise, and enjoy everyday life. Some are occasional and mild, while others can be recurring, severe, or associated with symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, or visual changes. Because headaches and migraines can have many different causes, proper evaluation is important before deciding on treatment.

​

At McKenney Chiropractic, our team looks at your symptoms, health history, posture, movement, neck function, previous injuries, and other factors that may be contributing to your discomfort. Certain headaches can be associated with muscle tension, restricted neck movement, repetitive stress, or irritation involving structures of the neck and upper back. When a musculoskeletal component is identified, chiropractic care may be one part of a broader treatment plan designed to improve movement, reduce tension, and support overall comfort.

​

Your care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue techniques, massage therapy, therapeutic modalities, rehabilitation, or other services available within our Belleview office depending on your individual needs. Every patient is different, so our goal is to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and recommend an approach that makes sense for you.

​

Headaches can also be related to conditions outside the musculoskeletal system, which is why we do not assume every headache should be treated with chiropractic care. New, sudden, unusually severe, or rapidly changing headaches, especially those accompanied by weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, fainting, fever, or other concerning symptoms, should receive prompt medical evaluation.
