Headache & Migraine Relief in Libertyville
You wake up feeling fine, but by lunchtime that dull pressure starts to build.
For some, it’s a tight band behind the eyes; for others, a pounding on one side of the head that ruins the day.
At Community Chiropractic Care, Dr. Steve Segal has helped Libertyville patients find lasting headache and migraine relief—often in just 1–3 visits. His focus is simple: identify the source of irritation, correct it gently, and help your body do what it’s designed to do—heal and function at its best.
The Difference Between Headaches and Migraines
Headaches are usually mechanical or tension-based—caused by muscle tightness, stress, poor posture, dehydration, or lack of movement.
Migraines, however, are neurological events that can include:
Throbbing pain on one side of the head
Nausea or visual disturbances (aura)
Light and sound sensitivity
Fatigue or “brain fog” after the episode
Many Libertyville patients have both. The good news? The same structural and neurological corrections that help tension headaches can also reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
Why Chiropractic Care Helps
Dr. Segal uses gentle, precise adjustments to restore alignment and reduce nerve irritation—particularly in the upper neck (C1–C2), where spinal tension often triggers headaches.
Chiropractic care helps by:
✅ Releasing muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
✅ Improving nerve communication between brain and body
✅ Enhancing blood flow to reduce inflammation
✅ Restoring natural joint motion so pressure doesn’t build up
Each adjustment is tailored to your comfort, anatomy, and goals.
Evidence-based clinical guidelines support chiropractic spinal manipulation for the management of tension-type and cervicogenic headaches.
