Headache Relief in Sturgis
Frequent headaches can make it hard to work, focus, or enjoy time with your family. You might rely on pain relievers and still wake up with the same nagging pain. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Dr. Al Gunderson, Dr. Jerrid Goebel, and our staff focus on finding out why your head hurts, not just covering up the symptoms. We offer evidence-informed care and clear explanations so you feel confident you’re in the right place.
How We Get to the Root of Your Headaches
Many people with migraines already know their diagnosis, but they still need fewer and easier days. During your first visit, we take a detailed history, asking when your headaches start, how often they occur, and what they feel like. The location and pattern of your pain give Dr. Gunderson and Dr. Goebel important clues about whether your headaches are more neck-related, tension-based, or migraine. We’ll also ask about past injuries, medications, work demands, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This patient-centered approach helps us create a plan that fits your life and goals.
Chiropractic Care Options for Headache Relief
Once we understand what’s driving your headaches, we’ll explain what we recommend and how long it may take. Care often includes gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore normal joint motion in the neck and upper back and ease pressure and tightness. We may pair this with soft tissue therapy for tight muscles and fascia to help release trigger points and stubborn tension. Chiropractic care can help with many headache patterns, including:
- Certain migraines with neck or muscle triggers, alongside your medical care
- Headaches linked to posture or long hours at a computer
- Tension headaches that start in the neck and shoulders Recurrent headaches after minor strains, overuse, or stress
