Headache Treatment in Virginia Beach

Each year, millions of Americans suffer from headaches and migraines, which can keep them from enjoying life to the fullest. At Body Logic, we understand that each type has unique causes and requires specific methods of care. Headaches are not the norm; we are committed to finding and treating the root causes without relying on medication.

Education is a cornerstone of our practice. We empower our patients with knowledge about their conditions, helping them recognize patterns and triggers and providing them with tools to manage their headaches effectively. We aim to provide lasting relief and improve the overall quality of life for as many people as possible.

Types & Causes of Headaches

There are several types of headaches with different origins and symptoms. The most common are

• Tension—often stemming from muscle strain and spinal misalignment, these headaches are typically caused by poor posture, stress, and muscular tension. Our focus is on realigning the spine, relaxing the muscles, and teaching patients how to maintain proper posture.
• Cervicogenic—these originate from neck disorders and are often due to abnormalities in the cervical spine. They can be triggered by neck movements and are characterized by pain radiating from the neck to the head. Our approach includes spinal adjustments and targeted therapies to address the cervical spine issues.
• Migraines—complex and multifaceted, they may be triggered by many factors, including hormonal changes, environmental stimuli, and certain foods. While the exact cause can be elusive, we aim to alleviate the associated tension and improve overall body function, which could help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.

A Holistic Approach to Relieving Your Headaches

With the understanding that headaches are often the result of a combination of factors, at Body Logic, we emphasize a holistic approach, addressing several areas:

• Nutrition and Hydration—we explore dietary triggers and emphasize the importance of hydration, as dehydration can often contribute to headache onset.
• Exercise and Stretching—regular physical activity and specific stretching exercises can significantly reduce the risk of headaches by improving posture and reducing muscle tension.
• Ergonomics and Lifestyle—we provide guidance on creating an ergonomic environment, especially for those spending long hours at a desk, to prevent the “tech neck” phenomenon.
