By addressing tension and misalignments in the spine and surrounding muscles, chiropractic can often reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Why Do Headaches Happen?
Headaches and migraines can come from a variety of causes, including:
-
Poor posture or spinal misalignment
-
Tension in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
-
Stress and muscle strain
-
Injuries such as whiplash or falls
-
Lifestyle factors such as long hours at a desk or screen
When the spine and surrounding muscles are not working properly, it can create stress on the nervous system and blood flow, often leading to recurring headaches.

Headache & Migraine FAQs
Can chiropractic care help with headaches and migraines in Austin?
Yes. Many headaches and migraines are caused or worsened by tension and misalignment in the cervical spine, neck, and upper back. At Back 'n Place Chiropractic in Austin, Dr. Nick Fourie performs a thorough exam to identify these musculoskeletal causes and uses spinal adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and other chiropractic techniques to reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches — often without relying on medication.
What types of headaches does Dr. Nick treat at Back 'n Place Chiropractic?
Dr. Nick helps patients with a wide range of headache types, including tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck), and migraines. Common contributing factors he addresses include poor posture, spinal misalignment, whiplash injuries, muscle strain, and the effects of prolonged desk or screen time — all of which are especially common among Austin's working population.
What does chiropractic treatment for headaches actually involve?
After reviewing your history and completing a full exam, Dr. Nick may use a combination of spinal adjustments, extremity adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, intersegmental traction, and electrical stimulation therapy depending on your specific condition. His approach is practical and honest — he will always tell you what chiropractic can and cannot do for your headaches.
Do I need to stop taking headache medication before seeing a chiropractor?
No. Medication and chiropractic care are not mutually exclusive. While medication can provide temporary symptom relief, chiropractic care works to address the underlying mechanical issues — such as spinal misalignment or neck tension — that may be triggering your headaches in the first place. Dr. Nick works alongside your existing care without pressure or gimmicks.
How long does it take to see results from chiropractic care for headaches?
It varies by patient. Some people at Back 'n Place Chiropractic notice relief after their first visit, while others see gradual improvement over a series of treatments. With over 20 years of experience treating headache and migraine patients in Austin, Dr. Nick will give you a clear and realistic picture of what to expect based on your specific exam findings.
