Headache and Migraine Treatment in Tyrone, PA
Tired of pain relievers that only mask the problem? Tension headaches and migraines often start in the neck. Dr. Gavan Casteel relieves the pressure behind them, without medication.
Signs Your Headaches Start in Your Neck
Headaches have many causes, but one of the most overlooked is a misalignment in the neck and upper back. Watch for:
What Causes Tension Headaches and Migraines?
When the vertebrae in your neck shift out of position, they put pressure on nearby nerves and muscles. That tension can trigger headaches and make migraines more frequent.
Stress, posture, poor sleep and old injuries can all add to it. Pain relievers ease the symptoms for a while, but they do not correct the cause.
Get emergency care right away for a sudden, severe headache unlike any before, or a headache with fever, a stiff neck, confusion, vision changes, weakness, or after a head injury.
