Headaches can range from a dull, persistent ache to a sharp flare of pain that makes ordinary activity impossible. At Core Strength Wellness Center in Prosper, TX, Dr. Jared Wilson, DC, CCSP, offers chiropractic care to help identify and treat the causes of headache pain. Whether you’re recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or struggling with recurring tension or migraine headaches, Dr. Wilson provides evidence-based care to help you find lasting relief.
Common Causes of Headaches
Headaches can result from many different sources, including tension, posture issues, muscle strain, or nerve irritation. Chiropractic care works to identify and resolve these physical contributors rather than just masking symptoms. Some of the most common headache causes that chiropractors can help with include:
- Neck and upper back tension: Poor posture, stress, or prolonged computer use can strain the muscles at the base of the skull and neck, leading to tension headaches.
- Spinal misalignment: Misalignments in the cervical spine can restrict joint movement, irritate nerves, and contribute to headache pain.
- Jaw tension or TMJ dysfunction: Tightness or imbalance in the jaw joint can radiate discomfort into the head and neck.
- Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Even mild head trauma can lead to lingering headaches due to changes in muscle tone, inflammation, or altered nerve signaling.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
At Core Strength Wellness Center, Dr. Wilson begins each patient’s care with a thorough evaluation to determine the source of pain. This will include a detailed physical assessment at our Prosper, TX, office and, when appropriate, testing to rule out serious conditions or identify TBI-related changes.
Chiropractic adjustments are often central to headache treatment, as they help restore normal alignment and motion to the spine. This can relieve pressure on nerves, improve blood flow, and reduce muscle tension contributing to pain. Dr. Wilson may also use laser therapy or electric muscle stimulation (EMS) to reduce inflammation and encourage faster healing in the soft tissues around the neck and shoulders.
For patients recovering from TBIs, care is designed to promote safe, gradual recovery. Chiropractic management can help restore balance and movement patterns affected by the injury, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
Personalized Relief for Lasting Results
Every headache has a cause, and the effectiveness of treatment depends on understanding what that is. Dr. Wilson’s approach combines chiropractic care, therapeutic techniques, and lifestyle recommendations to help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches while improving overall bodily function.
