Headache Relief in Greenville and Winterville
Care That’s Focused on the Cause
Screen-heavy days can stiffen the neck and upper back, and headaches often follow. Our goal goes beyond quick relief; we help you regain energy for work, family, and play. At O’Donahue Chiropractic, we start by listening, then a hands-on exam, and on-site X-rays to find the cause. From there, we build a precise, drug-free plan for lasting function.
How Chiropractic Helps Headaches
Chiropractor Dr. James O’Donahue explains that stiff neck joints can irritate nerves that refer pain to the scalp, temples, and the area behind the eyes. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore motion and help calm those pain signals. We often add Multi Radiance laser (photobiomodulation), a light therapy that quiets pain receptors without the ordinary GI or kidney risks from meds. When needed, electric muscle stimulation relaxes tight muscles, and X-rays guide care to keep it precise.
Is This the Kind of Headache You’re Feeling?
Our care tends to work best for headaches linked to neck and upper back tension from too much screen time or sitting. Here are common patterns we see:
- Dull aches that turn sharp or stabbing
- Migraines with pressure behind the eyes or at the skull base
- Pain that starts in the neck and moves to the temples or forehead
- Headaches with shoulder or arm tightness or tingling
Many flare-ups occur after long hours at the computer. We’ll coach simple home steps, like brief movement breaks and cold compresses.
A Real Patient Win
A teacher delayed care for weeks of neck tightness until a migraine with nausea brought her to us. Dr. O’Donahue examined her neck and upper back, took X-rays, and started targeted care. In three visits, the migraine pattern broke, supported by electric muscle stimulation in the office and cold compresses at home. Her takeaway: come at the first sign, early care is faster and often less expensive. We offer same-day visits and are in-network in Greenville.
