February 2026 Healthy News from Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief
If you're one of those in Manchester struggling with tension-type or cervicogenic headaches—or even migraines—we have hopeful news: there's solid evidence that chiropractic care could be the care you've been looking for! Recent clinical practice guidelines have reported chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective approach for adults wanting drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches are the result of neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are well trained to identify and manage what's actually triggering your pain. Case studies show successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that instigate headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has demonstrated remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman experiencing 10 headaches per month who had tried multiple medications without much luck; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she reported significantly less pain, less migraine frequency, and decreased necessity for medication. (3) Together, you and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries will create a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, offering 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? You don't have to rely solely on in-office treatments—you can be an active partner 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 places 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 exciting, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are showing promise as adjunctive therapies that patients can use on their own to manage their symptoms. (6) By combining professional chiropractic care with targeted exercises and innovative self-care tools, you're not just treating your headaches—you're empowering yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
