February 2026 Healthy News from Satterwhite Chiropractic: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief

If tension headaches, neck-related headaches, or migraines have been disrupting your life, there's hopeful news: evidence-based chiropractic care offers a path to relief right here in Oxford! Recent clinical practice guidelines have described chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective path 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 identify and manage what's actually triggering your pain. Case studies describe successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that bring on headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has demonstrated remarkable results—one newer case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman who was suffering with 10 headaches per month who had tried multiple medications without success; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she remarked that she had significantly less pain, less migraine frequency, and decreased need for medication. (3) Together, we’ll create a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, presenting you a sensible pathway 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

And isn't 'together' 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 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 focused 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!
