Are you ready to get control of your headaches and migraines? Most people turn to pain medications for temporary relief and spend hours each week in dark rooms trying to shut out the pain. But there’s another option.
At Dr. Sean Branham’s chiropractic and functional health clinic in St. Louis, patients discover that headaches are rarely isolated problems. Here, true healing comes from understanding and addressing the root cause. With chiropractic care, we address the “pain chain” that often starts in the spine, neck, or shoulders and travels upward.
Let’s get you the relief you deserve. Call Dr. Branham today!
Your body is an interconnected system. When one area is imbalanced, the effects can ripple throughout. For example, a slight misalignment in your cervical spine (neck) can cause muscle tightness in your shoulders, restricting blood flow and irritating nerves that connect to the head. Over time, this tension can trigger recurring headaches or even full-blown migraines.
Pain isn’t random; it’s the body’s way of signaling dysfunction. Chiropractic care helps decode those signals and restore harmony between your spine, muscles, and nervous system. Instead of masking pain with medication, Dr. Branham works to correct the structural and neurological imbalances that cause the pain in the first place.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving alignment and restoring nerve communication throughout the body. When your spine moves properly, your body functions properly. For headache sufferers, this can mean fewer flare-ups, less intensity, and a return to daily activities without the constant worry of pain.
Here’s how chiropractic helps specific types of headaches:
The most common type, tension headaches often stem from tight neck and shoulder muscles caused by poor posture, stress, or long hours at a computer. Chiropractic adjustments reduce tension by correcting spinal misalignments and releasing pressure on surrounding soft tissue. Patients often describe a “lightness” in their head and shoulders after just a few visits.
Migraines are complex neurological events involving inflammation, blood vessel changes, and nerve irritation. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines by improving blood flow, balancing the nervous system, and relieving muscular tension that contributes to attacks. Dr. Branham’s functional approach also evaluates triggers such as diet, hormones, and sleep patterns, offering a complete plan for migraine management.
When sinus cavities become inflamed or blocked, pressure builds up around the forehead, in the cheeks, and behind the eyes. Gentle chiropractic adjustments, especially in the upper cervical region, help improve drainage and reduce tension around the head and face. Many patients also experience improvement in breathing and allergy symptoms.
These headaches originate in the neck and are often mistaken for migraines. Misalignments in the upper spine can irritate nerves that refer pain to the head. Dr. Branham’s precise adjustments restore motion and reduce nerve irritation, addressing the root of the problem rather than its symptoms.
After a car accident or fall, even minor whiplash injuries can disrupt the alignment of the cervical spine. Chiropractic care helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing, often providing relief when medication or rest alone isn’t enough.
Imagine waking up without that familiar pressure behind your eyes or dull ache in your neck. For many of Dr. Branham’s patients, headache relief leads to more than just physical comfort. It changes how they experience life. Once the nervous system is balanced and tension is released, patients often report the following results:
Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain relief; it’s about restoring your body’s ability to heal and function at its best.
Dr. Branham doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every patient receives a personalized plan that may include spinal adjustments, muscle therapy, postural retraining, ergonomic guidance, and functional health recommendations such as nutrition and stress management. His goal is to help you understand why your headaches started and how to prevent them from returning.
By combining the latest in functional medicine with evidence-based chiropractic care, Dr. Branham offers a holistic approach that supports long-term wellness. Whether your headaches are mild and frequent or severe and debilitating, he works to uncover the root cause and guide you toward lasting relief.
Yes. Chiropractic care is a safe, natural, and non-invasive way to support spinal and neurological health. Dr. Branham uses precise, gentle techniques tailored to each patient’s comfort and condition. Many patients find adjustments relaxing and notice immediate improvement in mobility and tension.
Many patients notice relief after their first few visits, though results vary depending on how long you’ve had symptoms and the underlying cause. Chronic conditions or long-term postural issues may take more time to resolve. Dr. Branham will outline your personalized plan and timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Absolutely. Auto accidents, even minor ones, can cause whiplash and hidden spinal injuries that lead to headaches, neck pain, or dizziness weeks later. Chiropractic care helps restore balance, reduce inflammation, and prevent chronic pain from developing after trauma.
The spine and nervous system are deeply interconnected. Nerves in the upper neck directly influence blood flow, muscle tone, and pain perception in the head. By correcting spinal misalignments and relieving nerve irritation, chiropractic care addresses one of the most common sources of head pain.
