February 2026 Healthy News from Hollstrom & Associates Inc: A Gentle Path Toward Headache Relief

If tension headaches, neck-related headaches, or migraines have been messing with your life, there's hopeful news: evidence-based chiropractic care offers a path to relief right here in Largo! Recent clinical practice guidelines have reported chiropractic treatment as a proven, effective path for adults wanting drug-free solutions. (1) Whether your headaches stem from neck tension, spinal misalignment, or nerve irritation, we chiropractors are well trained to recognize and address what's actually triggering your pain. Case studies show successful conservative management of complex neck and thoracic conditions that bring on headaches (2), and gentle Cox® Technic (flexion-distraction) has revealed remarkable results—one recent case documented complete migraine resolution in a woman had 10 headaches a month who had tried multiple medications without success; after just 13 sessions over six weeks, she reported significantly less pain, less migraine frequency, and reduced necessity for medication. (3) Together, we’ll create a chiropractic treatment plan just for you, offering you a practical way toward lasting relief!

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

And isn't 'together' the best part? You don't have to rely solely on in-office treatments—you can be an active partner in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies produces the best outcomes for headache sufferers. An inclusive systematic review found that exercise therapy places 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 showing promise as adjunctive therapies that patients can use on their own 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 empowering yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
