Headaches can disrupt your day, drain your energy, and affect your quality of life. At Elan Wellness Center, we offer gentle, effective chiropractic care for headaches designed to address the root cause-not just mask the symptoms. If you’re searching for natural headache relief in Westchase or Tampa, our experienced team is here to help.
Can Chiropractic Care Help Headaches?
Yes. Many headaches are caused or worsened by issues in the spine, muscles, and nervous system—especially in the neck and upper back. Misalignments (also called subluxations), poor posture, muscle tension, or past injuries can irritate nerves and restrict blood flow, triggering frequent or chronic headaches.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment and function to help your body heal naturally.
Types of Headaches We Commonly Treat
Chiropractic care is especially effective for the following headache types:
Tension Headaches
Often caused by muscle tightness, stress, and poor posture. These headaches typically feel like a tight band around the head.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Headaches that originate in the neck and radiate to the head or behind the eyes—commonly linked to spinal misalignment or neck injuries.
Migraine Headaches
While migraines are complex, chiropractic care may help reduce their frequency, intensity, and duration by decreasing nervous system irritation and muscle tension.
Headaches After Auto Injuries
Whiplash and auto accidents frequently lead to lingering headaches. Chiropractic care can address the underlying spinal and soft tissue damage.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Headaches
At Elan Wellness Center, we take a personalized approach to headache care. Your treatment plan may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to improve alignment and reduce nerve irritation
- Neck and upper back care to address posture-related strain
- Muscle relaxation techniques to reduce tension

Our goal is long-term relief—not temporary fixes.
