Chronic headaches can be debilitating, affecting your work, sleep, and quality of life. At Lobacz Chiropractic in Evansville, Indiana, we understand that many headaches are caused by trapezius muscle adhesions—tight, fibrous areas in the upper back and neck that restrict movement and irritate nerves. Our Headache Relief Program combines shockwave therapy and chiropractic adjustments to target these adhesions and provide lasting relief.
The trapezius (trap) muscle spans the back of your neck, shoulders, and upper back. When this muscle becomes tight or develops adhesions, it can:
Restrict blood flow and oxygen to surrounding tissues
Irritate nerves that trigger tension headaches
Cause neck stiffness, shoulder pain, and upper back discomfort
Many patients in Evansville and Newburgh experience chronic headaches because these adhesions are left untreated. Simply resting or taking pain medication often doesn’t resolve the underlying issue.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues. For trapezius adhesions, it can:
Break down fibrous scar tissue in the traps
Increase blood flow and oxygen to the affected area
Improve tissue elasticity and reduce stiffness
Help restore normal movement and relieve tension headaches
By targeting these adhesions, shockwave therapy addresses one of the root causes of chronic headaches, rather than just masking the pain.
While shockwave therapy focuses on soft tissue healing, chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and proper joint function. This combination can:
Reduce nerve irritation from misaligned vertebrae
Improve posture and shoulder mechanics
Alleviate upper back and neck tension that contributes to headaches
Complement shockwave therapy for faster, longer-lasting results
Together, these therapies form the core of our Headache Relief Program.
Our specialized Headache Relief Program in Evansville is designed for patients who:
Suffer from chronic tension headaches or migraines
Have stiffness or pain in the neck, shoulders, or upper back
Have tried medications or other therapies without success
Program Highlights:
Comprehensive assessment of spinal alignment and trapezius adhesions
Shockwave therapy sessions targeted to the traps and upper back
Chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal movement and nerve function
Personalized care plan for long-term headache management
Many patients report significant improvement in headache frequency, intensity, and overall mobility after following this program.
It’s important to understand that real healing takes time. Releasing adhesions, restoring blood flow, and retraining muscles and joints require consistent care. However, combining shockwave therapy with chiropractic adjustments has helped numerous patients in Evansville, Newburgh, and surrounding areas experience lasting relief from chronic headaches.
If you’re ready to tackle your headaches at the source, our Headache Relief Program at Lobacz Chiropractic is here to help. By addressing trapezius adhesions, restoring spinal alignment, and promoting natural healing, we help patients regain their quality of life without drugs or surgery.
