Can chiropractic care help with headaches or migraines?

Headaches and migraines can often be linked to neck tension, posture, and spinal misalignment. Chiropractic adjustments help improve alignment and mobility, which may reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches for many people.

If you spend long hours at a desk, drive often, or carry stress in your shoulders, chiropractic care may be an important piece of relief—not just a temporary fix.

💡 Less tension. Better movement. Fewer headaches.

📘 Wellness Wednesday: Desk Workers’ Reset!

If you’re spending your Wednesday parked at a desk, here’s your midweek reminder to give your body a little extra care. Small adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel by the end of the day!

💻 3 Quick Midday Fixes to Help You Feel Better:

✨ Check Your Screen Height
Your eyes should meet the top third of your screen. If you're looking down all day, your neck and upper back are working overtime.

✨ Roll Out the Tension
Take 20 seconds for shoulder rolls—forward and backward. This simple move wakes up your upper back muscles and eases stiffness.

✨ Take Micro-Breaks
Every 30 minutes, stand up, stretch, or walk for even 60 seconds. Your spine and hips will thank you by 5pm.

A healthier workday doesn’t have to be complicated—just consistent. Your body is built to move, and these tiny habits help keep everything functioning at its best.

Have a productive, comfortable Wednesday from all of us at Carroll Family Chiropractic! 💙

✔️ Yes — scraping is safe when performed by a trained professional.
Scraping (IASTM) is a gentle, controlled soft-tissue technique that can help student athletes recover faster, loosen tight muscles, and stay moving well throughout the season.

For basketball players dealing with:
• Soreness from back-to-back practices
• Tightness in calves, quads, or shoulders
• Overuse from jumping, sprinting, and quick direction changes
…scraping can be a game-changer.

Our focus is always on athlete comfort, proper technique, and individualized care so they can feel their best and perform their best.

If your athlete is pushing hard this season, we’re here to support them every step of the way. 🏀🔥
