UNDERSTANDING HEADACHES & MIGRAINES
Headaches and migraines are not all the same. Understanding the type of headache you experience, your symptoms, possible triggers, and how often they occur is an important part of determining the appropriate approach to care.
Headaches may be associated with factors such as muscle tension, cervical spine dysfunction, posture, stress, sleep, dehydration, medications, or other health conditions. Some headaches may also originate from structures in the neck, which are often referred to as cervicogenic headaches.
Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause moderate to severe headache pain along with symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual or sensory changes. Some people experience an aura before or during a migraine, while others do not.
Because headaches can have many different causes, understanding your symptoms, headache pattern, health history, and examination findings is an important part of determining what type of care may be appropriate.
COMMON HEADACHE & MIGRAINE TRIGGERS AND CONTRIBUTING FACTORS
Headaches and migraines can be influenced by many different factors. Triggers and contributing factors vary from person to person, which is why understanding your individual patterns and health history is important.
- Lack of sleep or changes in sleep patterns
- Dehydration
- Stress and muscle tension
- Prolonged or poor posture
- Cervical spine dysfunction or neck tension
- Previous head or neck injury
- Jaw tension or TMJ-related concerns
- Certain foods or skipped meals
- Alcohol
- Caffeine or changes in caffeine intake
- Hormonal changes
- Bright lights, strong smells, or loud sounds
Identifying possible triggers and contributing factors can help guide recommendations for care. At New Journey Chiropractic, we consider your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, cervical spine, and nervous system function when determining whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for you.
Types of Headaches & Migraines
Headaches can have different patterns, symptoms, and contributing factors. Understanding the type of headache you are experiencing can be an important part of determining what evaluation and care may be appropriate.
Tension-Type Headaches
Tension-type headaches are the most common type of primary headache. They often cause a dull, aching or pressure-like sensation that may be felt on both sides of the head. Some people also experience tenderness or tension in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, or scalp.
Cluster Headaches
Cluster headaches cause severe pain, usually around or behind one eye, and tend to occur in repeated attacks over a period of time. Symptoms may include eye redness or tearing, nasal congestion, facial sweating, or restlessness on the affected side. Cluster headaches require appropriate medical evaluation and management.
Migraine
Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause moderate to severe headache pain, often on one side of the head. Symptoms may also include nausea and sensitivity to light, sound, or movement. Some people experience an aura, such as visual or sensory changes, before or during a migraine.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches are headaches that originate from structures in the cervical spine or neck. Pain may begin in the neck or back of the head and travel toward the forehead or behind the eyes. Neck stiffness or reduced range of motion may also be present.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS APPROACH HEADACHES IN ORMOND BEACH
Headaches and migraines can have many contributing factors, which is why understanding your individual symptoms is an important first step.

If your symptoms indicate that additional medical evaluation is appropriate, we will discuss the appropriate next steps and coordinate with other healthcare providers when needed.
