If headaches or migraines are keeping you from feeling and performing your best, you’re not alone. Many patients in Cherry Hill and Voorhees come to BeFit Chiro after trying medications, rest, and home remedies without lasting relief. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, chiropractic care can be a valuable part of a comprehensive plan to reduce headache frequency, intensity, and the impact headaches have on your day.
Which Headaches May Respond to Chiropractic?
• Cervicogenic headaches: Pain that starts in the neck and refers to the head is commonly related to joint or muscle dysfunction. These often improve with hands-on chiropractic care and targeted mobility/strength work.
• Tension-type headaches: Often linked to posture, stress, and muscle tension through the neck and shoulders. Addressing soft-tissue tightness and movement patterns can help.
• Migraines: Responses vary. Some patients report fewer or less intense attacks when neck mechanics, triggers, and lifestyle factors are addressed together.
Our Approach at BeFit Chiro
1) Care that starts with listening: We take a clear history—when your headaches start, what they feel like, what makes them better or worse, and any red flags that need medical referral.
2) Targeted assessment: We evaluate neck and upper-back mobility, posture, muscle tension, jaw involvement, and work/ergonomic factors that can drive headaches.
3) Individualized plan: Your plan may include gentle spinal adjustments, soft-tissue techniques, stretching and stability work, ergonomic coaching, and trigger management. Our goal is fewer bad days and better quality of life.
Simple Daily Habits That Support Fewer Headaches
• Micro-breaks: Every 30–45 minutes, stand, roll the shoulders, and move your neck through comfortable ranges.
• Posture cues: Keep screens at eye level; support forearms; sit back against the chair with feet flat.
• Hydration and meals: Dehydration and skipped meals can trigger headaches—set simple reminders.
• Sleep routine: Aim for regular sleep and a supportive pillow that keeps your neck neutral.
• Stress tools: Box breathing (4-4-4-4), brief walks, or short mobility flows lower muscle tension.
• Trigger tracking: Note potential triggers such as specific foods, bright lights, strong scents, or hormonal cycles.
When We Co-Manage With Your Physician
Your safety comes first. If you experience sudden, severe headache (“worst ever”), new neurological symptoms, headache after a head injury, unexplained fever, or vision/speech changes, we’ll advise immediate medical care. We frequently co-manage with primary care, neurology, and dentistry (for jaw/TMJ issues) to give you complete support.
What Patients Tell Us
Patients often report fewer headache days, reduced neck tightness, improved posture at work, and a better ability to stay active. Many appreciate having a plan that combines in-office care with simple home strategies—so relief doesn’t depend only on appointments.
