February 2026 Healthy News from Layden Chiropractic: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief
If you're one of those in Plainville 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 established chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective approach for adults seeking drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches stem from neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are well trained to recognize and manage any underlying structural issues at the root of your pain. Case studies describe successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that trigger headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has shown remarkable results—one newer case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman experiencing 10 headaches per month who had attempted 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 Layden Chiropractic will create a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, offering you a practical way toward lasting relief!
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Steven Baroody on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he shares his 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 end 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. A comprehensive 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 do 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 on their own 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!
