Not All Headaches Are the Same – And Yours Might Be Linked to Your Spine

Headaches can range from a dull, distracting ache to debilitating pain that affects your vision, concentration, and daily life. Understanding the type of headache you’re experiencing is the first step toward lasting relief.

While many people reach for painkillers, this often only masks the symptoms. At Alexandria Spine & Injury Center, we focus on finding and treating the root cause of your headache pain.

Common Types of Headaches We Treat

Tension Headaches

The most common type of headache, often described as a constant pressure or tightness around the head. These are frequently related to:

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Poor posture

  • Muscle tension in the neck and shoulders

  • Spinal misalignment

Migraines

More than just severe headaches, migraines are a complex neurological condition that can cause:

  • Throbbing pain, often on one side

  • Sensitivity to light and sound

  • Nausea and visual disturbances

  • Symptoms lasting hours or even days

Post-Accident Headaches

Many patients develop headaches after auto injuries due to:

  • Whiplash and neck strain

  • Concussion or mild traumatic brain injury

  • Spinal misalignment from impact forces
