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

Struggling with persistent headaches or migraines in St Peters? Research shows that chiropractic care could be the drug-free answer you've been searching for! Recent clinical practice guidelines have established chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective approach for adults seeking drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches stem from neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are specially trained to recognize and address the biomechanical issues driving your symptoms. Case studies describe successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that instigate headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has demonstrated remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman who was suffering with 10 headaches a month who had attempted multiple medications without much luck; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she remarked that she had significantly less pain, decreased migraine frequency, and reduced need for medication. (3) Together, you and Old Mill Chiropractic will create a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, offering you a sensible path toward lasting relief!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Steven Baroody on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson  as he shares his 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

The greatest 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. A comprehensive 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 do at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more exciting, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are promising as adjunctive therapies that patients can use independently 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 allowing yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
