February 2026 Healthy News from Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief

If tension headaches, neck-related headaches, or migraines have been messing with your life, there's hopeful news: evidence-based chiropractic care offers a path to relief right here in Baton Rouge! Recent clinical practice guidelines have reported chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective path for adults seeking drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches are the result of neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are well trained to identify and manage any underlying structural issues at the root of your pain. Case studies describe successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that bring on headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has revealed remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman who was suffering with 10 headaches per month who had tried multiple medications without much luck; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she reported significantly less pain, decreased migraine frequency, and reduced need for medication. (3) Together, we’ll establish a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, presenting you a realistic way 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? The journey to relief doesn't end when you leave the office—you have the power to actively participate in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies produces the best outcomes for headache sufferers. A comprehensive systematic review found that exercise therapy ranks among the most effective interventions for cervicogenic headache (4), and clinical practice guidelines recommend therapeutic exercises you can do at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more hopeful, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are promising as adjunctive therapies that patients can use on their own to manage their symptoms. (6) By mixing professional chiropractic care with targeted 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!
