Headaches and migraines can keep you from taking part in the activities you enjoy. They can also make it hard to eat, sleep, exercise, and work. If over the counter or prescription pain relief isn’t working or isn’t an option for you, you should consider all-natural, alternative medicine headache and migraine treatments. Our chiropractors in Rochester can provide non-invasive, safe headache and migraine treatment that will help you get back to living your normal life. 

Spinal Manipulation

Spinal manipulation is a non-invasive chiropractic therapy that focuses on realigning the spine and restoring balance to the body. Also known as a chiropractic adjustment, this procedure can gently move joints, vertebrae, and discs back into place so that you have reduced pain and inflammation, less tension and stiffness, and improved circulation. During the procedure, one of our chiropractors will use their hands or a small instrument to manually apply controlled force to your spine, joints, and muscles. The procedure is pain-free with no downtime, and most patients experience results after just one session. 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a deeply calming and relaxing chiropractic therapy and has shown continued success in relieving migraines and tension headaches. Most chiropractors offer more than one type of therapeutic massage and will recommend the type that is most likely to provide relief for your symptoms. Neuromuscular massage, or trigger point therapy, relieves tension in trigger points of the neck, back, shoulders, and head. Deep tissue massage stimulates the release of endorphins, which are a natural pain-reliever. Cranial sacral therapy and reflexology can relieve tension and pain. 

Reiki

Reiki is a healing technique that focuses on improving the body’s overall energy flow, promoting relation, and reducing stress and anxiety. A Reiki practitioner can help you relax and reduce stress so that you’re less likely to experience stress-induced headaches and migraines. Reiki can bring on a meditative state and promote the body’s natural self-healing processes. During Reiki, your practitioner will use their hands on or just above your body to alter the body’s energy in specific, strategic areas. There is no pressure, massage, or manipulation involved.
