Breaking Free from Headaches: Finding Lasting Relief in East Brunswick

More Than Just “Powering Through”

If you’ve ever canceled plans because of a pounding headache, missed your child’s game because of a migraine, or kept a bottle of pain relievers in every purse and desk drawer, you understand how debilitating head pain can be.

It’s not just discomfort—it’s life interrupted.

Not All Head Pain Is Created Equal

Tension headaches create that tight, pressure-filled ache across your forehead or back of your neck. They’re often triggered by stress, dehydration, or poor posture—especially in our screen-heavy world.

Migraines are a different beast entirely. That intense, throbbing pain often on one side of your head can come with nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Some people see flashing lights or experience “aura” symptoms before an episode hits. When a migraine strikes, even the smallest sound can feel unbearable.

The Root Cause Most People Miss

Here’s what many don’t realize: most headaches stem from spinal misalignment. When vertebrae shift out of proper position, they compress nerves that control the muscles around your skull. Those muscles tighten, restricting blood flow. The major blood vessels carrying blood to your brain thread directly through these vertebrae—when alignment is off, it’s like stepping on a hose.

Pain medication might temporarily mask symptoms, but it can’t address the underlying mechanical problem causing your headaches.

Real Stories, Real Relief

Dr. Freedman has witnessed remarkable transformations. One patient endured a constant headache for six straight months—waking and sleeping with relentless pain. After just one adjustment, he walked out headache-free. Another patient, who’d suffered for years, felt like “a veil had been lifted” after chiropractic care restored proper function.
