February 2026 Healthy News from Aurora Chiropractic Center: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief
If tension headaches, neck-related headaches, or migraines have been messing with your life, there's hopeful news: evidence-based chiropractic care offers a path to relief right here in Juneau! Recent clinical practice guidelines have reported chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective path for adults seeking drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches are the result of neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are specially trained to identify and address what's actually triggering your pain. Case studies show successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that bring on headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has shown remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman who was suffering with 10 headaches a month who had tried multiple medications without success; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she reported significantly less pain, decreased migraine frequency, and decreased necessity for medication. (3) Together, you and Aurora Chiropractic Center will come up with a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, presenting you a realistic path toward lasting relief!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Steven Baroody on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he discusses relieving treatment for a patient with neck pan and headache using The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management.
CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Take an Active Role in Your Headache Relief
The best part? The journey to relief doesn't stop when you leave the office—you have the power to actively participate in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies produces the best outcomes for headache sufferers. An inclusive systematic review found that exercise therapy ranks among the most effective interventions for cervicogenic headache (4), and clinical practice guidelines recommend therapeutic exercises you can perform at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more hopeful, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are showing promise as adjunctive therapies that patients can use independently to manage their symptoms. (6) By combining professional chiropractic care with focused exercises and innovative self-care tools, you're not just treating your headaches—you're allowing yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
