Headache & Migraine Relief at Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic

Dr. Jeffery Awender

If you struggle with chronic headaches or debilitating migraines, you’re not alone. Millions of people live with frequent head pain that affects work, sleep, focus, and overall quality of life. At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, Dr. Jeffery Awender provides advanced, drug-free chiropractic care designed to reduce headache frequency, decrease migraine intensity, and correct the underlying causes of recurring pain.

Our Lake Wylie chiropractic office focuses on natural, long-lasting solutions—not temporary symptom relief. If tension headaches, migraines, or posture-related pain are disrupting your daily routine, we’re here to help.

Why Do Headaches and Migraines Happen?

Headaches and migraines can stem from various underlying issues, including:

  • Poor posture / “tech-neck”

  • Cervical spine misalignments (subluxations)

  • Muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back

  • Stress or jaw tension

  • Nerve irritation

  • Sinus pressure or congestion

  • Previous injuries, including whiplash or sports injuries

Dr. Awender performs a detailed chiropractic and neurological evaluation to identify the root causes of your headaches, allowing for a personalized plan focused on both relief and prevention.

Chiropractic Treatment for Headaches & Migraines

We use safe, effective, and natural treatment methods that target the source of your pain:

1. Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments

Correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine can reduce nerve irritation, improve blood flow, and significantly decrease headache and migraine frequency.

2. Muscle & Soft Tissue Therapy

Tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back commonly trigger headaches. Targeted soft tissue work helps release these problem areas and restore proper movement.

3. Posture Restoration

Forward-head posture is one of the most common contributors to chronic headaches. Dr. Awender offers personalized postural correction strategies for work, home, and physical activity.

4. Lifestyle & Ergonomic Coaching

Small daily changes—improved sleep positioning, hydration habits, workstation setup, and stress reduction—can make a big difference in reducing head pain.

5. Sports-Related Headache Care

Athletes often develop headaches from impact, muscle strain, or overuse. Chiropractic care improves mobility, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent performance-related headache triggers.

How Other Pain Conditions Contribute to Headaches

Headaches often tie into other musculoskeletal issues. At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, we look at the entire body—not just the head—to identify additional contributors.

Bursitis

Shoulder or hip bursitis can alter posture and increase upper-back and neck tension, which frequently leads to headaches.

Knee Pain

Knee dysfunction changes gait mechanics, which affects hip and pelvic alignment. This imbalance travels up the spine, contributing to tension in the back and neck.

Shoulder Pain

Rotator cuff irritation, poor shoulder mechanics, and shoulder injuries increase upper-back tightness and neck strain—two major headache and migraine triggers.

Addressing these interconnected issues leads to more complete and long-lasting relief.
