Headache Treatments We Offer in Estero
If you make an appointment at Naples Community Injury Center, we will create a comprehensive treatment program to address your chronic pain. Some of the treatments we may prescribe for your headaches include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
You might be experiencing headaches because of a spinal misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments can help with that, as our chiropractors will gently force your spine back into the correct alignment.
We offer a variety of chiropractic techniques, which we can explain in more detail once we understand your condition. Generally, we’ll ask you to lie down on a table so we can perform your adjustment.
Massage Therapy
Most people think of massages as a form of relaxation. While massages can be relaxing, they also provide many health benefits, including alleviating chronic headaches.
When the muscles in your shoulders, neck, and back are tight, it may cause headaches. Our massage techniques can loosen tight muscles and reduce tissue inflammation that may be contributing to your headaches.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (E-STIM)
With this type of therapy technique, we apply gentle electric pulses to help ease tension and muscle spasms that might be contributing to your headaches. E-STIM can also help improve circulation, encouraging healing throughout the body.
Pain Management
Though we do not rely on medications to treat your condition, we can prescribe medications to treat some of your severe symptoms. For example, if your headaches are severely impacting your ability to perform regular tasks, or they cause inconvenient symptoms like nausea, we may be able to prescribe something to help.

Types of Headaches You May Be Suffering From
According to Stanford Medicine, some of the common types of headaches include:
- Migraine headache: Migraines are a common, genetic form of headaches. They can last for up to seventy-two hours, and they are often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light.
- Tension headache: Tension headaches often occur at the back of your head, temples, and forehead. Physical therapy is often prescribed for this type of headache.
- Cluster headache: This type of headache causes pain on one side of your head. They are often recurring, which is why many people seek treatment.
Common Headache Triggers to Pay Attention to
While some types of headaches are hereditary, others are caused by common triggers, which include:
- Certain foods, like processed meat
- Bad posture
- Hunger
- Red wine and other types of alcohol
- Dehydration
- Sinus issues
- Certain medications
- Physical activity
- Nicotine
- Straining, such as coughing, sneezing, and blowing your nose
Accidents can also trigger headaches. For example, if you were in a car accident, you may be suffering from headaches as a side effect of whiplash. Athletes also commonly experience headaches as the result of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) such as concussions.
Because headaches can arise from so many causes, it’s important to be aware of any potential triggers. If you notice consistent headache pain, keep a journal of all your daily activities. This way, you have something to reference when trying to determine the cause of your condition.
