Headaches/Migraines

Headache & Migraine Relief in Plymouth, MN

For many people, headaches have become a "normal" part of life – something to be managed with daily painkillers, dark rooms, or caffeine. But whether you suffer from dull tension headaches after a long day at the desk or debilitating migraines that knock you out for hours, living with chronic head pain is exhausting.

At Bomberg Chiropractic, Dr. Tom Bomberg helps patients break the cycle of chronic headaches. Instead of just masking the pain with medication, we identify the structural and neurological triggers in your neck and spine that are often the true cause of your discomfort.

The Neck-Head Connection: Why Your Spine Matters

While triggers like stress, dehydration, or food sensitivities can play a role, a massive number of headaches are actually cervicogenic – meaning they originate in the neck.

When the vertebrae in your upper neck (cervical spine) lose their proper alignment or motion, they can irritate the delicate nerves that travel up into your head. Simultaneously, the muscles in your neck and shoulders tighten to protect the area, pulling on the base of your skull. This combination of nerve irritation and muscle tension creates the perfect storm for a headache.

By restoring proper alignment to the neck, Dr. Bomberg removes the irritation at its source.

Chiropractic Care for Different Types of Headaches

Dr. Bomberg successfully treats several types of head pain by addressing spinal health:

  • Tension Headaches: The most common type, often described as a tight band around the forehead or base of the skull. These are frequently caused by posture (desk work), stress, and tight neck muscles.
  • Migraines: Severe, throbbing pain often accompanied by nausea or light sensitivity. While neurological in nature, migraines can be triggered or worsened by spinal misalignments and nerve interference.
  • Cervicogenic Headaches: Pain that starts in the neck and radiates up into the back of the head or behind the eyes. These are directly linked to spinal joint dysfunction.
  • Post-Traumatic Headaches: Often occurring after a car accident or sports injury (whiplash), these headaches can linger for weeks if the underlying soft tissue damage isn't treated.

Dr. Bomberg’s Gentle Approach to Headache Relief

When your head hurts, the last thing you want is aggressive treatment. Dr. Bomberg uses precise, low-force techniques and advanced chiropractic services to help you find relief comfortably.

The Activator Method

For patients with migraines or severe sensitivity, the Activator Technique is often the best choice. This handheld instrument delivers a gentle, low-force impulse to the spine to correct misalignment without any twisting or "cracking" of the neck.

Movement Based Massage (Soft Tissue Therapy)

Tight muscles in the upper back and neck (trapezius and suboccipitals) often compress nerves and trigger headaches. Dr. Bomberg uses targeted soft tissue release to break up fascia restrictions and relax these muscles, improving blood flow and reducing tension.

Spinal Alignment & Posture Correction

For long-term relief, Dr. Bomberg works to correct the spinal mechanics that cause your headaches to return. This is especially important for desk workers and students whose daily posture contributes to "tech neck" and chronic strain.
