While you may not know what is causing your headaches and migraines, the symptoms can be debilitating and can prevent you from working or enjoying life. Headaches and migraines can come on suddenly, and be accompanied by troubling symptoms such as nausea, vision problems, fatigue, neck pain, and more.

At Smith Chiropractic, we can help you identify the root causes of your headaches and migraines, so you can lessen your chances of reoccurrence. If you’re investigating your options for headache treatment in Colorado Springs, give us a call today. 

What Is Causing Your Headaches and Migraines?

The underlying causes of headaches and migraines are not always completely understood; however, there are a wide variety of common reasons why you may experience frequent headaches or migraines. Headaches can occur due to dietary changes or food sensitivities, stress, sensitivity to light or noise, changes in sleep patterns, environmental causes like air quality, traffic pollution, or exposure to toxins, side effects of illness or medication, and more. 

Our experienced chiropractic staff can help you determine the underlying cause of your headaches or migraines. Many common migraine triggers are hormonal fluctuations, alcohol, caffeine, stress, environmental stimuli like lights and noise, allergies, changes in sleep or diet, weather changes, and medications.

Common Symptoms Associated With Headaches and Migraines 

In addition to the obvious symptom, which is pain in the head, temple, and even neck, you may experience other symptoms along with your headache or migraine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity, insomnia, anxiety, depression, neck or shoulder pain or stiffness, and more.

It is helpful to let us know what type of pain you are experiencing. Is it throbbing, sharp, dull, constant, intermittent, localized in one specific spot, or does it just feel like it is everywhere? We may also ask you how often you have your headaches or migraines, how long do they last, and what do you do to try to make them go away faster?
