Power Combo: How Dry Needling and Chiropractic Care Can Alleviate Tension Headaches

Written By: Dr Haley Harvey, DC

Are you curious about how dry needling can help relieve tension headaches? Let me share some insights! I often treat headaches using a combination of chiropractic care and dry needling, and I absolutely love how effective this duo can be. Each method works wonders on its own, but together, they create powerful results!

By combining dry needling and chiropractic care, we take a gentle and restorative approach that significantly reduces both the frequency and intensity of headaches. Isn’t that fantastic?

We often focus on the muscles in the neck and head (yes, there are muscles even between your skull and scalp!), including the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, scalenes, temporalis, suboccipitals and more. By targeting these areas with dry needling, we can reduce tension effectively. After that, gentle chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, ensuring your nervous system operates at its best!

There’s no need to endure the discomfort of tension headaches any longer—so many effective solutions are out there! Let’s work together to find the best options for you and bring you the relief you deserve!
