The Best Way To Fast Headache Relief | Chiropractor for Headaches in Hartland, WI
Hello there. I’m sure you or someone you know has experienced headaches at some point in life. I’m here to tell you — they’re not just some “normal” thing that everybody goes through. Headaches are actually a sign that something deeper is going on in your body.
So come follow me, and I’ll show you how we deal with headaches here at Perfect Touch Chiropractic.
The Atlas Orthogonal Instrument
This right here is an Atlas Orthogonal Adjusting Instrument. What it does is deliver a very gentle, precise adjustment that allows tension in the head and neck to decrease — and helps the headache to subside.
We use very specific X-rays to guide this process. These images allow us to measure the exact millimeter and degree of misalignment in the atlas vertebra (C1). This means every adjustment is based on precise science and not guesswork — it’s the most accurate chiropractic adjustment you’ll ever receive.
Demonstrating the Adjustment
Now I’ll have you lie on your side. The setup is really easy and simple. Everything we do is based on your individual X-rays and what they tell me needs to be corrected.
The adjustment itself is very quick and painless. You’re just going to hear a small sound from the instrument — and there it is.
Now go ahead and lie on your back with your feet toward the bottom of the table.
Post-Adjustment Balance Check
After the adjustment, I always check for leg balance. It’s one of the indicators we use to see how the nervous system is responding in real time. In this case, she balanced perfectly — which tells me the adjustment was effective.
You’re doing great, and that headache should be gone any minute now.
Understanding the Root Causes of Headaches
Let’s break down what actually causes headaches. There are usually three main culprits, what we call the Three T’s:
- Thoughts – Mental and emotional stressors that create physical tension in the body.
- Traumas – Physical injuries, accidents, or repetitive strain on the body.
- Toxins – Environmental exposures, allergens, and chemicals we take in.
For example, a misalignment at the atlas vertebra can cause muscle tension on one side of the neck, which pulls and creates pain that shoots up into the head — triggering a headache. That’s the kind caused by physical trauma.
Other headaches can be caused by toxins, like allergens or environmental triggers. These affect how the body functions and can lead to chronic or seasonal headache issues. Mental stress, or thoughts, is another major contributor — especially if someone is dealing with high anxiety or tension.
