Headaches & Migraine Treatment in Hillsboro
Are headaches or migraines keeping you from enjoying your day? Difficulty concentrating at work, interrupted sleep, or constant neck tension can make even simple tasks feel impossible. At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, we offer personalized headache and migraine treatment in Hillsboro to ease discomfort so you can focus, rest better, and feel more like yourself.
Understanding Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
- Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
- Stress, fatigue, or disrupted sleep
- Neck stiffness or restricted joint movement
- Poor posture from long hours at a desk or on digital devices (“tech neck”)
- Nerve irritation or muscle strain
Left untreated, these conditions can become more frequent and disruptive, leading to chronic pain, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and even decreased productivity or quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Headaches
Headaches and migraines may show up with signs such as:
- Pain at the back of the head, temples, or behind the eyes
- Neck stiffness associated with headaches
- Nausea, or sensitivity to light or sound (common with migraines)
- Dizziness or visual disturbances
- Pain that worsens with posture, stress, or activity
How We Diagnose Headaches & Migraines
At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of your head pain. This includes:
- Detailed health and injury history review
- Physical and spinal assessment
- Range of motion and nerve function testing
- Imaging referrals (X-ray or MRI) if necessary
These steps ensure that every treatment plan is safe, effective, and tailored specifically to your needs.
Comprehensive Headaches & Migraines Treatment We Offer
At Dr. Rex Chiropractic, headache and migraine care is never one-size-fits-all. Your treatment plan is built around your specific condition, comfort level, and long-term goals. We combine trusted chiropractic techniques with supportive therapies to help you feel better, move more easily, and get back to living the life you enjoy.
Full Spine Manual Adjusting
We carefully restore proper movement and alignment along your spine, which may help relieve pressure on nerves, improve posture, and reduce tension that contributes to headaches, helping you feel lighter, freer, and more in control of your day.
Drop Table Technique
Do you prefer a gentler approach? The Drop Table Technique offers low-impact adjustments that feel light but work effectively. It’s ideal for easing stiffness and releasing tension that can aggravate headaches.
Activator Method
The Activator Method uses a handheld device to deliver precise, low-force adjustments exactly where you need them. This technique works well if you’re sensitive to touch and want a gentle option that feels comfortable and effective.
Massage Therapy
Tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper back is a common trigger for headaches. Therapeutic massage loosens tight muscles, reduces tension, and improves circulation, leaving you more relaxed and easing headache discomfort.
Hydro Massage
Hydro massage delivers soothing water pressure to relax muscles and promote blood flow without the need to disrobe. Many patients find it deeply relaxing and helpful for relieving upper back, neck, and shoulder tension that can contribute to headaches.
HPHD Laser Therapy
Our High-Power, High-Density Laser Therapy is a non-invasive way to ease pain and encourage natural healing, giving you another gentle option for headache relief. It’s often used as a complementary option for managing headache‑related discomfort.
Corrective and Therapeutic Exercises
We don’t just treat headaches in the office; we help you prevent them at home. Personalized exercises strengthen your neck and shoulder muscles, while posture guidance helps reduce strain from work, screens, and daily activities. Over time, this can help prevent headaches before they occur.
Posture & Ergonomic Coaching
Small changes make a big difference. We share easy tips for managing stress, improving sleep habits, and setting up your workspace so headaches don’t get in the way of your day.
