February 2026 Healthy News from Minster Chiropractic Center: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief

If you're someone in Minster struggling with tension-type or cervicogenic headaches—or even migraines—we have hopeful news: there's solid evidence that chiropractic care could be the relief you've been looking for! Recent clinical practice guidelines have established chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective approach for adults seeking drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches stem from neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are specially trained to recognize and address what's actually triggering your pain. Case studies describe successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that trigger headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has demonstrated remarkable results—one newer case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman experiencing 10 headaches per month who had attempted multiple medications without success; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she reported significantly less pain, decreased migraine frequency, and decreased necessity for medication. (3) Together, you and Minster Chiropractic Center will establish a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, presenting you a realistic path toward lasting relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Steven Baroody on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson  as he shares his relieving treatment for a patient with neck pan and headache using The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.

CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Take an Active Role in Your Headache Relief

And isn't 'together' the best part? You don't have to rely solely on in-office treatments—you can be an active partner in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies brings about the best outcomes for headache sufferers. An inclusive systematic review found that exercise therapy ranks among the most effective interventions for cervicogenic headache (4), and clinical practice guidelines recommend therapeutic exercises you can perform at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more exciting, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are promising as adjunctive therapies that patients can use independently to manage their symptoms. (6) By combining professional chiropractic care with focused exercises and innovative self-care tools, you're not just treating your headaches—you're empowering yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
