Headache Treatment in New Braunfels, TX

 

Not all headaches are the same, and treating them all the same way is why so many people don't get lasting relief. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness, we start by identifying what type of headache you're actually dealing with — because tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches each call for a different approach.

 

Types of Headaches We Treat

• Tension headaches — muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and upper back, often stress or posture related

• Cervicogenic headaches — originating from misalignment or dysfunction in the upper neck and cervical spine

• Migraines — intense, often one-sided pain frequently accompanied by light sensitivity or nausea

• Cluster headaches — severe, recurring pain typically affecting one side of the head in cyclical patterns

 

Cervicogenic headaches in particular are frequently misdiagnosed as migraines, since the referred pain pattern can look similar — but they respond specifically to upper cervical correction rather than migraine management.

 

How We Approach Treatment

Once we've identified the headache pattern and likely contributing factors, treatment may include:

• Upper cervical adjustments to correct alignment issues that commonly trigger cervicogenic headaches

• Soft tissue therapy for chronic tension held in the neck and shoulders

• Postural correction to reduce the forward head posture that aggravates headache frequency

• Trigger point work for muscle-related referral patterns

 

For headaches with migraine features — aura, severe light sensitivity, or accompanying neurological symptoms — we'll be direct about when additional medical evaluation makes sense alongside chiropractic care.
