Headaches & Migraines Treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center
Understanding Headaches & Migraines: Causes, Symptoms & Impact
Headaches and migraines affect millions of people and can significantly disrupt daily life. At ChiroMend Natural Health Center in Glenview, IL, we understand that many headache conditions are linked to musculoskeletal, postural, and lifestyle factors that influence the spine, neck, and nervous system.
Common symptoms include:
- Throbbing or pounding head pain (typical in migraines)
- Dull, persistent ache or “tight band” sensation around the head or neck (tension-type)
- Sensitivity to light, sound, nausea, or visual disturbances
- Neck stiffness, shoulder tension, and restricted head movement
- Recurrent episodes that impact focus, mood, and productivity
Contributing factors may include:
- Poor posture and forward head position from desk or screen use
- Neck or upper back misalignment or muscle tension
- Stress, fatigue, dehydration, or dietary triggers
- Sleep disruption and repetitive head/neck motion
