Headaches, Migraines, & Chiropractic In Greenville SC

Do you ever get a headache so bad you think your brain might explode? The pain is so severe, you can’t even think straight! Contact our Greenville SC chiropractor to find relief today.

Strangely enough, your brain can’t even feel the pain at all. The ache in a headache comes from blood vessels, membranes, and cranial nerves in the brain and skull. When these things become irritated, inflamed, stretched, compressed, or infected, the result is a headache.

Dealing With Headaches Symptoms In Greenville SC

Most people reach for over-the-counter painkillers for headaches and migraines. When they seek medical help, they’re often prescribed even stronger painkillers and hope it just goes away over time.

There are several natural remedies for headaches including drinking water, getting more sleep, limiting alcohol, drinking caffeine, and a lot more. These solutions work for some, but for those with chronic headaches, you may be seeking greater relief.

The Chiropractic Approach To Headaches

Chiropractic care is the natural, drug-free approach to health including headaches and migraines. When the spine is misaligned, subluxations occur, which interfere with the ability for your brain to communicate properly through the spinal cord with the rest of your body.

This tiny distortion puts stress on your nervous system, which can lead to the nerve problems that cause headaches. To fix subluxations, your chiropractor will perform an adjustment that realigns the spine to its correct position. At THINC Chiropractic we use the TRT method, which is safe, gentle, and precise.

Amber's Story

For a good part of my adult life I experienced some type of back pain on and off as well as regular headaches. I mostly thought “I could pop my own back without paying someone else to do it,” until I could not even move without extreme pain.

I was in pain for a few weeks until I decided to really do something about it. I began experiencing numbness in my leg and the pain began traveling up my back. I was limited in almost all areas of living such as being able to sit, stand, walk, bend, lift any amount of weight, doing household chores, and driving. You name it and I was struggling to do it.

I had tried typical over the counter medications and steroid shots to relieve the pain and nothing was working. I realize now they were only temporary solutions and it was not fixing the real issue. Now I am able to do all of those things and more! I have more mobility, energy, and motivation. I am able to do my hobbies again as well. I am also experiencing better sleep since being under consistent chiropractic care.

I know that chiropractic care will always be a part of my health journey. I know now that my other health issues such as allergies, anxiety, and headaches are related to the state of my spine. It takes time and repetition to heal and maintain my health. The team and overall office experience at THINC is great! They do an excellent job of creating a family-like atmosphere and they genuinely care for you.

Joseph's Story

Before coming to THINC, I was experiencing frequent and severe headaches. I had numbness and tingling in my right arm and leg. I also had low back pain and I had trouble sleeping.

My day to day life was greatly impacted. I had trouble trying to stand from sitting. Sitting or standing for extended periods of time were painful.

Chiropractic care has been beneficial in so many ways. I have more energy, my digestive system function has improved, I am getting better quality of sleep, and I rarely have headaches anymore. When I do have a headache, it is mild in comparison to what they used to be.

I have been able to completely stop taking medications prescribed for my headaches and ADHD!

The staff at THINC are always positive and upbeat! They pay attention to what you say and they show genuine interest for the lives and well-being of their practice members.

Case Studies Regarding Headaches

Not only have we seen less headaches in our own THINC members, case studies on this topic have shown chiropractic care to be significantly effective time and time again.

Case Study: 10-Year Old Girl
A ten-year-old girl with chronic, severe migraines (six times a week for the previous three years) was unable to go to school due to the severity of her condition. Neurologists could not help her. A chiropractic examination revealed a subluxation in her upper neck. After her third adjustment she was off her pain medications and by the third week she was back in school, had started dance classes for the first time in two years and “began to smile again. She was leading a normal and healthy life… by the end of the fifth visit.”

Case study: 6-Year Old Boy
A six-year-old boy had been suffering from headaches for two years. MDs could not determine the cause and had prescribed ibuprofen which was ineffective. With two months of chiropractic care, his headaches disappeared.

Our goal is to help your entire family live life to the fullest. If migraines or headaches are getting in the way, we invite you to try chiropractic care and see the difference!
