Natural, Evidence-Based Care at Life in Motion Chiropractic
Recurring headaches can be more than just frustrating—they can interfere with your focus, productivity, sleep, and quality of life. Whether your symptoms feel like a dull pressure, a tight band around the head, or intense episodes that disrupt your day, persistent head pain is not something you should ignore.
Many people don’t realize that headaches are often mechanical in origin, meaning they stem from issues in the neck, upper back, posture, or nervous system—not just dehydration or stress alone.
At Life in Motion Chiropractic in Livonia, MI, we focus on identifying the root cause of your headaches and addressing it, not just the symptoms.

Common Causes of Headaches
Headaches can arise from several sources, and effective care starts with understanding what’s driving your symptoms.
Some of the most common contributors we evaluate include:
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- Poor posture or prolonged desk and screen time
- Cervical joint dysfunction
- Jaw tension or clenching
- Stress-related movement patterns
- Previous neck injuries or whiplash
Different headache patterns may present differently. Some originate at the base of the skull and travel forward, while others feel like pressure around the temples or forehead. Migraines may also include sensitivity to light or sound, as well as nausea.
If your headaches are frequent, worsening, or limiting your daily activities, a comprehensive evaluation can help determine the source.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Headaches
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, non-invasive approach to managing headaches by improving how the spine, muscles, and nervous system work together.
Chiropractic treatment may help by:
- Restoring normal motion to the cervical spine
- Reducing muscle tension that contributes to head pain
- Improving posture and movement mechanics
- Decreasing irritation to nerves associated with headaches
- Supporting long-term prevention strategies
Many headaches—especially tension-type and cervicogenic headaches—are closely linked to neck dysfunction. By addressing these mechanical contributors, chiropractic care can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of symptoms over time.
Harvard Medical School found chiropractic treatment to reduce both the number of days suffered as well as the intensity of migraines for patients.¹
The prestigious Spine Journal found that for headache sufferers, chiropractic treatment cut the number of symptomatic days in HALF.²
