Understanding Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are more than just a nuisance; they can significantly impact your daily life, making it difficult to focus, work, and enjoy time with your family and friends. Whether you are an athlete, an elderly individual, a weekend warrior, a stay-at-home parent, or a 9 to 5 worker, headaches and migraines do not discriminate. Understanding the root cause of your pain is crucial to finding the right treatment.

Common Causes of Headaches and Migraines

Tension and Stress: Everyday stress and muscle tension can lead to tension headaches.
Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting or poor posture can strain your neck and back muscles, triggering headaches.
Nerve Irritation: Misalignments in the spine can irritate nerves that contribute to headaches.
Injuries: Past injuries, even minor ones, can have long-lasting effects that result in chronic headaches.
Lifestyle Factors: Diet, sleep patterns, and hydration levels can all influence the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.

Our Chiropractic Approach to Headache & Migraine Relief

At Austin Preferred Integrative Medicine, we employ a holistic approach to treating headaches and migraines. Our chiropractic care is designed to address the underlying causes of your pain rather than just masking the symptoms. Here’s how we do it:

Active Release Technique

Active Release Techniques (ART) is a specialized method that focuses on relieving tension in the muscles and soft tissues. By applying precise pressure and movement, ART helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions that can contribute to headaches. This technique is particularly effective for those who suffer from tension headaches caused by muscle tightness and stress.

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique is an innovative, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables our chiropractors to detect and treat areas of chronic inflammation and fibrosis. Using specialized tools, we gently manipulate the affected areas to reduce pain and improve function. This technique is highly beneficial for individuals with headaches resulting from soft tissue injuries or repetitive strain.

Fascial Distortion Model (FDM)

The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is a unique approach that targets the fascial system, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. By identifying and correcting distortions in the fascia, we can alleviate pain and restore normal function. FDM is particularly effective for treating migraines, as it helps to relieve tension and pressure in the head and neck.

This is the only place I will go when I need a tune up or in other extreme circumstances which are bound to happen with me.”

“AMAZING! I was involved in a car accident and came to get treatment here. I am so happy I did. Today I can say I feel better than I did before my accident. The staff is very professional and courteous. I have been so pleased with my results. When I hear people talk about pain at my gym I immediately tell them about my experience and tell them to reach out – they won’t regret it. thank yall so much!!! I never thought after my accident that I would be 100% again (which is a scary feeling).”

For the first time in years I feel relieved of constant neck discomfort and pain shooting down my right arm because of the nerve in my neck that is pinched by the disc! Dr. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, gentle and understanding! I tried many chiropractors in the area but I won’t be going to them ever! Dr. Jeff is the only one who actually helped!!“

“Dr. Fluitt is amazing! He has taken care of my chronic back pain as well as my daughter, who is a gymnast with major injuries, and my other daughter, who is a ballerina with tendinitis. He is my preferred therapist for myself and my children! I have recommended MANY other parents and friends to Dr. Fluitt!!“

“I have been going to Dr. Fluitt for years for various aliments and it’s always a fun story for his team of how I recently injured myself at our appointments. I never hesitate to make an appointment because he always knows exactly how to “fix me” and the rest of his team is knowledgeable and wonderful to work with.
