February 2026 Healthy News from Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief

If you're one of those in Tonawanda struggling with tension-type or cervicogenic headaches—or even migraines—we have hopeful news: there's solid evidence that chiropractic care could be the care you've been looking for! Recent clinical practice guidelines have established chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective path for adults wanting drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches stem from neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are specially trained to identify and manage the biomechanical issues driving your symptoms. Case studies show successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that instigate headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has demonstrated remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman who was suffering with 10 headaches a month who had attempted multiple medications without much luck; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she remarked that she had significantly less pain, decreased migraine frequency, and decreased necessity for medication. (3) Together, we’ll come up with a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, presenting you a realistic pathway 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 only on in-office treatments—you can be an active partner in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies produces the best outcomes for headache sufferers. An inclusive systematic review found that exercise therapy places 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 showing promise as adjunctive therapies that patients can use independently to manage their symptoms. (6) By mixing 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!
