Expert Relief for Headaches and Migraines

Athens Doctor of Chiropractic Barry Hitchcock brings a wealth of experience and advanced accreditation to treating headaches and migraines for his patients at Athens Spine and Injury.

If you suffer from the effects of these chronic conditions, you know how debilitating they can be. It’s tough to do your best at work or at home as you try to alleviate the pain and discomfort.

Most headaches and migraines are related to mechanical spine problems, specifically involving locked joints, postural distortion, and tight muscles in the cervical spine. Dr. Hitchcock’s thorough approach addresses not just your immediate pain, but also finds the root causes to provide lasting relief.

A Well-Rounded Treatment Approach

Dr. Hitchcock helps educate his patients throughout a thorough evaluation process. This detailed approach helps make patients an active part of their healing process and helps them better understand the factors that may be contributing to their total health picture.

Once the specific cause of your pain is found, Dr. Hitchcock will target three key areas in his treatment approach that often contribute to headaches and migraines, including:

  • Cervical spine joint dysfunction
  • Postural distortion affecting neck alignment
  • Muscle tension and imbalances

Most patients experience significant improvement within two weeks of beginning treatment, though each patient’s experience will differ based on their personal health background.

Professional Care You Can Trust

Through his advanced training in Primary Spine Care from Cleveland University-Kansas City and SUNY Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, in addition to his degree from Life University, Dr. Hitchcock is highly qualified in the treatment of chronic headaches and migraines.

Rather than just masking symptoms, he focuses on correcting the underlying causes of your pain. He takes time to explain to patients how mechanical spine problems are contributing to their pain and why his treatment approach is effective.

If your condition requires additional specialist care, we maintain strong relationships with neurologists and other healthcare providers in the area to ensure our patients receive the necessary treatment their personal health situation demands.
