The holidays may be over, but holiday stress might still be present in your mind and body. If you are having frequent headaches or are experiencing neck pain and strain, Dr. Jacobson can help. The team at Smith Chiropractic in Colorado Springs can get to the root cause of your stress and provide solutions that help you get back to your normal, healthy life.

Why Holiday Stress Causes Headaches & Neck Strain

Stress and tension are two of the leading causes of headaches and migraines. Eating rich food, sleeping less, traveling, sleeping in an unfamiliar bed, and spending more time on your feet can also all contribute to stress and tension headaches. Many of these things can also contribute to neck strain and pain as well. Dr. Jacobson will ask you questions about your diet, lifestyle, and medical history to try to determine the underlying cause of your stress, headaches, and neck strain so that he can design an effective treatment plan.

How Chiropractors Treat Headaches

Once Dr. Jacobson has a better understanding of what might be causing your headaches, he can create a customized chiropractic treatment plan for you. This may include a combination of different therapies, including massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, and therapeutic exercise. He will likely also suggest that you make some changes at home to prevent the likelihood of your headaches recurring. He may suggest you change your diet, exercise more, avoid alcohol, sleep more, drink more water, and take vitamins or supplements. He may also suggest stress-relief techniques like yoga, meditation, and journaling. 

Chiropractic Care for Neck Strain

Dr. Jacobson will look for the least invasive, most effective treatment method for aches, pains, and strains. For neck strain, he may suggest chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, heat or cold therapy, hydrotherapy, and therapeutic exercises and stretches. The goal will be to improve your posture, strengthen the muscles that support the head, reduce inflammation and tenderness, and improve range of motion. He may give you exercises and stretches to do at home, too.
