Headaches are defined as pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck. It occurs as migraines, tension-type headaches or cluster headaches, which are all considered headaches but each have specific qualities in diagnosis.
Headaches can cause long-term damage mentally and physically, and can easily affect day-to-day life. About half of adults experience headaches at least every year, with tension headaches being the most prevalent.
Headaches are something that many people deal with, but it is not a necessary part of life. Headaches often result from traction to or irritation of the meninges and blood vessels. Blood vessel spasms, dilated blood vessels, inflammation or infection of meninges and muscular tension can also stimulate nociceptors and cause pain. These can be caused by other issues going on in the body, but most of them tie into problems involving the nervous system.
Symptoms of headaches are:
Headaches commonly occur when there is irritation or interference on the nerves that go to the head; this irritation or interference on the nerve is called subluxation. Subluxations reduce the ability of the nerves to function, leading to symptoms like not only headaches but much more as well.
Subluxations can often be the result of stress and bad posture, which is why many people who work at a desk suffer from them. By receiving the gentle and effective treatment of chiropractic care, you will have subluxations and stress removed from the spine. This decrease of stress will help to decrease or eliminate headaches!

Dr Tony and Sarah are the 2nd chiropractors I have seen. 10/10 they were thorough and addressed all of my concerns. I was having low back pain. I had felt better after my first adjustment. Their treatment seems more involved which I prefer. I recommend them to my friends and family.
I love how friendly Tony & Sarah are and it makes the experience comfortable and enjoyable! They are very knowledgeable and I can feel improvements in my health since starting care here at Advantage Life Chiropractic! Highly Recommend! 🙂
I came to Advantage Life Chiropractic in Inver Grove Heights with my spouse’ recommendation. I had never been to a chiropractor before, but I was dealing with low back pain from my job. Drs Tony and Sarah have been very accommodating with me and my work schedule since I travel for my job. There are not many weeks where I have an open night for treatment but they always seemed to make their schedule work around mine. From the moment I walked into the office for the first time to my first appointment I felt welcomed and invited to ask as many questions as I wanted. All questions I had were answered with professionalism and expertise. I cannot recommend this team enough and their care has helped me in ways that I would recommend to friends, family, and anyone reading. Cannot say enough about this office!
Dr. Sarah and Dr. Tony are exceptional chiropractors—kind, skilled, and genuinely dedicated to helping patients feel better. From my first visit, they took the time to understand my concerns and explain the treatment process. After just a few sessions, I’ve experienced noticeable relief from pain and improved mobility. The clinic is welcoming, and their compassionate approach makes each visit a positive experience. I also appreciate the flexible scheduling, which makes it easy to fit appointments into my busy life. Highly recommend!
Dr. Tony and Dr. Sara are amazing. From day one they have amazing to work with and I feel they genuinely care about my health and wellbeing. From remembering every specific concern I noted on the day of my initial consultation to follow up and ongoing care, I feel like they truly care. Scheduling, as well as canceling or modifying appointments is a breeze, as they are very flexible, by allowing both text messaging and phone scheduling. They are very responsive and understanding that sometimes in need to work late or have issues at home. I HIGHLY recommend this practice!
Advantage Life Chiropractic was super responsive to my inquiry for my teenage daughter who studies dance. I thought it might take weeks to get an appointment and try chiropractic care for her and they made it seem so effortless and relieved an anxiousness of having to wait for care. The care my daughter has received and is still receiving has been so caring, informative and giving my daughter the control, an awareness and ability to advocate more for her body and it’s care. They have been so on point on what is going on and what is needed. The results have been a more confident, pain-free daughter. Now, I need to advocate for my care and book myself an appointment!
