Help for Headaches in Morgantown
Do your headaches typically start in your neck and build throughout the day? That 3 pm neck grab is a typical result of forward head posture while working at a computer. While we don’t treat only headaches, chiropractic can help. Dr. Stephen Toth sees them often and focuses on easing stress on joints, muscles, and nerves. We aim to provide better movement to make your daily life easier.
Starting With a Whole-body, Function-First Exam
Dr. Toth looks for clear patterns tied to posture and the upper neck. Common patterns we address include:
- Tension headaches from forward head posture
- Suboccipital pain radiating over the head
- Cervicogenic headaches involving the Atlas/Axis and the dura mater
- Migraines improved with neck and posture care
Your exam may include posture analysis, range of motion, palpation, and motion palpation to see how each joint moves.
Personalized Care to Free Muscles, Joints, and Nerves
Care begins by releasing tight suboccipital and related muscles through targeted stretching and gentle traction, as appropriate. Dr. Toth restores joint motion with Diversified, Thompson, and Activator® adjustments, which use precise hand movements or an instrument to increase mobility gently.
He also uses neuromuscular re-education, which involves simple movements that retrain the brain and muscles. He treats the whole spine, not just the neck, so upper tension isn’t driven by issues below.
What to Expect: Clear Plans and Realistic Progress
At Toth Chiropractic and Wellness, you’ll get clear education, ergonomic tips, and home exercises you can actually do. Our realistic goal is to shift pain from constant to intermittent over the first 30 to 90 days. Safety comes first with the neck; muscles and mechanics are addressed before any adjustments are made.
X-rays are used only when indicated, in about 10% of cases. Other imaging, such as MRI, is ordered only when necessary. Most patients do not need a referral, and our team can verify your insurance benefits.
