Relieving Headaches Naturally: The Chiropractic Approach
Headaches can be more than just a nuisance—they can disrupt your day, reduce your productivity, and affect your overall quality of life. While many people reach for over-the-counter pain medications to find relief, there’s a natural alternative that addresses one of the root causes of headaches: chiropractic care.
At Derryberry Chiropractic in Oklahoma City, Dr. Broc Derryberry specializes in gentle, effective treatments that focus on spinal health to relieve headaches without medication. Here’s how spinal alignment plays a key role in headache relief—and why chiropractic care might be the natural solution you’ve been searching for.
The Link Between Your Spine and Headaches
Many headaches, including tension headaches and migraines, originate from issues in the neck and upper spine. When the vertebrae in your neck (cervical spine) are misaligned or restricted, they can irritate nearby nerves and muscles. This irritation can cause tension, inflammation, and pain that radiates up to your head.
Common causes of spinal misalignment leading to headaches include:
Poor posture, especially from prolonged computer or phone use
Stress and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders
Injury or trauma, such as whiplash from an accident
Repetitive strain from physical activities or sports
When your spine is properly aligned, it helps ensure your nervous system functions smoothly, reducing muscle tension and nerve irritation that contribute to headaches.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Dr. Derryberry uses precise chiropractic adjustments to realign your spine, restore proper motion to your vertebrae, and relieve pressure on irritated nerves. These adjustments can:
Reduce muscle tightness and improve circulation
Decrease nerve irritation that triggers headache pain
Enhance nervous system function, supporting your body’s natural healing processes
Improve posture, reducing strain on your neck and shoulders over time
Because chiropractic care addresses the underlying structural issues rather than just masking symptoms, many patients experience longer-lasting relief from headaches.

No Side Effects: Unlike many headache medications, chiropractic care is drug-free and non-invasive.
