Stop the Headache Cycle: How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Find Real Relief

Stop the Headache Cycle: How Chiropractic Care Can Help You Find Real Relief

You know that feeling when your head starts pounding, your vision goes fuzzy, and you can’t think straight?
Yup—headaches and migraines are no joke.



Hey there, I’m Dr. Mac, your friendly Wesley Chapel chiropractor and Air Force veteran. Here at McNamara Health & Wellness, I help people just like you kick headaches to the curb naturally—without relying on pain pills.

Why Do We Get Headaches?

Most people think headaches are just about stress or dehydration—and sometimes, that’s true! But there’s often more going on under the surface.

Common causes I see in my patients include:

🔹 Spinal misalignment (especially in the neck)
🔹 Muscle tension from poor posture (hello, tech neck!)
🔹 Jaw clenching or TMJ issues
🔹 Chronic stress and tension
🔹 Nerve irritation or pinched nerves
🔹 Old injuries, like whiplash

When your spine and muscles are out of balance, they put pressure on nerves and restrict blood flow. That can lead to tension headaches or even trigger migraines.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to keep popping painkillers or hiding in a dark room.

At McNamara Health & Wellness, I take a whole-body, hands-on approach to help you find long-term relief.

✅ 1. Spinal and Neck Adjustments

Gentle adjustments help restore alignment and relieve pressure on nerves that may be causing pain.

✅ 2. Muscle Tension Release

Targeted muscle therapy helps ease tightness in your neck, shoulders, and back—all common headache triggers.

✅ 3. Posture Correction

Bad posture is a huge headache culprit. I’ll help you fix it so your head isn’t carrying all that extra strain.

✅ 4. Nervous System Support

Better spinal alignment helps your nervous system work better—which means fewer headaches and less tension overall.

✅ 5. Personalized Home Care Tips

From stretches to workstation changes, I’ll give you easy ways to keep headaches from returning.

Types of Headaches Chiropractic Can Help

Not sure what kind of headache you have? Here’s a quick breakdown:

🔸 Tension Headaches: Feel like a tight band around your head—often from muscle tension and stress.

🔸 Cervicogenic Headaches: Start in the neck and radiate to the head—usually caused by spinal misalignment.

🔸 Migraines: Severe throbbing pain, often with nausea, light sensitivity, or vision changes—can be triggered by nerve and vascular issues.

🔸 TMJ-Related Headaches: Pain around the jaw and temples, often from clenching or grinding teeth.

If you deal with any of these, chiropractic care can help tackle the root cause—not just mask the pain.
