Headaches are broadly defined as a painful sensation in any part of the head and are one of the most common forms of pain that we experience. The pain caused by headaches can range from a dull, achy sensation to a sharp, debilitating pain. Unfortunately, headaches are a major reason why people are forced to miss days of work, school and cause many to miss out on social events with your children, family and friends. While headaches are one of the most common conditions affecting our brains, and nearly everyone has experienced a headache at some point, they are not normal.
Often people turn to over-the-counter medications for their headaches, and while you may experience some temporary relief, they don’t necessarily address the root cause. A more natural and holistic approach to treating the root cause of headaches and migraines can be found with chiropractic treatment.
While there are several different types of headaches, one of the things all headaches have in common is that they cause pain. Some of the common symptoms you might experience while having a headache include:
Because the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) controls so many bodily functions and sensations, headaches can be caused by a wide variety of issues. Some of the most common causes of headaches include:
Whether you are dealing with a persistent headache, or a debilitating migraine, the cause may be a structural issue.
When the spine moves out of position due to trauma, repetitive stress, or other incidents, this is called a subluxation and it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves. When the nerves that lead into the head are compressed or irritated, this can lead directly to an acute headache or migraine. Overtime, If the subluxation is not corrected, this can lead to more persistent headaches and migraines.
With chiropractic care, subluxations are removed, directly addressing the root cause of your headache to provide a lasting correction.
When you visit Cornerstone Chiropractic Health Center to seek treatment for your headaches, you will fill out paperwork that will help us learn more about your condition. Next, you will meet with the chiropractor for a detailed consultation and physical examination.
At Cornerstone, we thoroughly evaluate our patients to determine the exact cause of your headache. Our detailed assessment will determine the exact type of treatment that is necessary for your headaches.
Based on the results of the initial evaluation, the doctor will go over treatment recommendations. The technique we use is gentle and non-invasive, which makes it a great fit for a wide range of patients. There is no twisting, cracking or jerking of the spine. Our technique allows us to provide scientific and specific adjustments to address your neck pain for long-lasting results!
We also incorporate rehabilitative stretches and strengthening exercises to address any muscular imbalances throughout the body. Our goal is to help our patients achieve optimal results as quickly as possible.
For some, an adjustment provides immediate relief, whereas for others, it may take several sessions to feel the effects. We’ll provide you with tips on how to reduce or prevent recurring headaches, such as lifestyle adjustments, exercises, stretches, and diet changes. You’ll likely come in for follow-up visits so we can assess your progress and make any further adjustments.
Although chiropractic treatment for headaches and migraines may not be your first instinct when considering options, Cornerstone Chiropractic can help you find the cause of your symptoms and alleviate your pain. If you are struggling with migraines or headaches call our team at Cornerstone today for help.

I was referred to Dr. Mike Kronaizl at Cornerstone Chiropractic by a friend at a time I was experiencing extreme back pain. I was afraid I was facing back surgery and wanted to avoid it if at all possible. I "hobbled" into his office, and we set up a plan for treatment. I am almost pain free now. His staff is very accommodating, and he is a very understanding and a truly caring person. He has my 100% endorsement.
Dr. Kroinazl has been exceptional in the care he has provided me. When I started seeing him I was dealing with neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain, and sciatica that was not only limiting my ability to enjoy my job along with my hobbies but also the joy and happiness that had come with them. He sat down with me and laid out a transparent plan and timeline to help me reach my goals. I must admit, as skeptical as I was initially, he knew exactly what he was talking about and what he was doing. I am now pain free and able to not only do my job and my hobbies, but enjoy them as well.
Dr. Mike is working wonders on my neck n shoulder blades. I went from having numbness in my arms constantly to hardly any symptoms at all. I'm in the construction business n in constant pain so I'm glad I found him n his staff . Greatly appreciated.
I have had scoliosis since a child. I have been in severe pain for years. I started going to Dr. Mike in late August. He already has me feeling so much better. The sciatic nerve pain is gone and the slipped disc is healing. I was in so much pain that getting out of bed was difficult. I could barely make it through the day without taking natural pain killers. I am able to do so much more in just a few weeks of care!
I’d been having terrible sciatic pain for 6+ months. It was to the point I could barely walk, my leg would give out, I needed 2 hands on the railing to use steps, couldn’t sit, I was miserable, and I should add I’m only 41! A coworker recommended Dr. Mike and I wish I would’ve taken her advice sooner! Everything I thought I knew about chiropractic care has gone out the window- what Dr. Mike is doing is amazing! I’m 1 month into treatment and feel amazing! I can do stairs without using the railing, can sit on my couch again, and my limp is almost gone! I recommend Dr. Mike to everyone!!!
I was sceptical regarding chiropractic care until I started treatment at Cornerstone Chiropractic with Dr. Mike. Pain in my left hip that sometimes shot down my leg is virtually gone, and I am halfway through the treatment process. I have had muscle tension and soreness in my neck and shoulders for years and that is greatly improved too.
Dr. Kronaizl cares deeply about others achieving great health and he goes the extra mile to make sure you get the best care possible. He's honest, genuine, and great Dr. to work with!
I've had back pain for nearly three years and after many failed attempts with other therapies and chiropractic care, I decided to go see Dr. Kronaizl. After only a few weeks of treatment, I feel like I have my life back again! I highly recommend Dr. Kronaizl! Schedule that appointment, the only thing you'll regret is not scheduling it sooner.
I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain for quite some time and it had been gradually getting worse. The pain made it difficult for me to sleep at night and it got to the point where it was difficult to lift my grandson. After seeing Dr. Kronaizl I have no issues lifting my grandson and I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night due to the pain, which is huge! I highly recommend Dr. Kronaizl. He’s performed wonders on my shoulder!
Dr. Michael is wonderful! I've had back pain and weaknesses for years, after each visit I'm getting stronger and feeling better! No back pain is my new normal!
Dr. Michael is someone I fully trust with my body. His adjustments feel great and get awesome results, especially after a car accident injury!
Dr. Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable and took time to explain things so I could understand and make an informed decision on my care and I thoroughly trust his knowledge and skill. I look forward to continuing my care and finding the relief I’ve been needed.
Dr Kronaizl is very knowledgeable and kind. He states exactly what he is doing and why. His concern is me and my pain and improving my problems. I I highly recommend him to everyone
Dr. Mike is personable and listens to his patients. My primary interaction with him was with one of my wrestlers that was tryin to get back on the mat after numerous surgeries. He tried and tried and continued to have problems with his shoulder. He was sidelined for a good portion of his senior year. Dr. Mike started working with him a couples days a week. This last for for about 8 weeks. He was ultimately able to compete and placed 3rd in the state tournament. What is truly unique is that he had gone to numerous other experts and the results were always the same. It was different with Dr. mike and so were the results. This guy does it right and gets results! I strongly recommend him.
Dr Kronaizl is wonderful! He goes above and beyond to help get you out of pain. I would 100% recommend him!
Dr. Michael is phenomenal! Great adjustments, great bedside manner, and he really cares. Cannot recommend his care enough!
Dr. Michael was very professional and personable. I finally went in after experiencing back pain for nearly a month and felt so much better after one adjustment. Highly recommend!
Dr. Michael is a true professional who not only provided me with adjustments that worked, but did so in such a caring and polite manner with my health top of mind. I highly recommend Dr. Michael to anyone seeking chiropractic care!
