Headache & Migraine Relief

Headaches and migraines are among the most common and debilitating conditions affecting millions of Americans. Many people don't realize that chiropractic care offers a highly effective, drug-free solution. At Empire Chiropractic in Nyack, NY, Dr. Jerome Greenberg has helped countless patients achieve lasting relief from chronic headaches and migraines through precise spinal adjustments and holistic care.

Many headaches originate in the neck. Tension in the cervical spine — whether from poor posture, stress, auto injury, or spinal misalignment — can directly trigger pain that radiates into the head. Chiropractic adjustments address the root cause rather than simply masking symptoms with medication.

## Types of Headaches Chiropractic Can Treat

Tension headaches are the most common type, typically caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Cervicogenic headaches originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine and often present as pain on one side of the head. Migraines, which involve severe throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances, can also be reduced in frequency and severity through regular chiropractic care.

## How Dr. Greenberg Treats Headaches

Dr. Greenberg begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the source of your headaches. He then creates a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments to restore proper cervical alignment, soft tissue therapy to release muscle tension, posture correction and ergonomic guidance, and lifestyle recommendations to reduce headache triggers.

Research published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulation is an effective treatment for tension headaches and can reduce both the frequency and intensity of migraines. Unlike medications, chiropractic care works to correct the underlying dysfunction — providing lasting relief rather than temporary suppression.

If you suffer from frequent headaches or debilitating migraines, you don't have to live with the pain. Dr. Greenberg accepts most insurance plans and offers free consultations for new patients. Call Empire Chiropractic today at (917) 882-9635 to schedule your appointment.
