Chiropractic Treatment for Tension Headaches In Naperville

Frequent head pain is a normal part of a busy life, but chronic discomfort is a sign your body needs help. A tension headache is oftencharacterized as a dull ache or persistent pain that encompasses the head and typically surrounds the eyes. These episodes frequently escalate in severity, sometimes becoming a chronic burden that lasts fifteen days or more every month.

While most individuals encounter occasional head pain, recurrent issues can deteriorate and sabotage your daily productivity. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center provides comprehensive clinical evaluations to identify the physiological triggers behind your pain. Our team provides targetedchiropractic headache treatmentthat doesn’t comprise short-term medicines promising hollow long-lasting solutions for your headaches.

Understanding How Tension Headache Originates

Identifying a single cause for head pain is a difficult thing to figure out. It’s hard to say what exactly causes it. Some of the common triggers include dietary choices, strenuous repetitive motions, prolonged screen time, and the mental tax of a demanding lifestyle.

When you encounter these stressors regularly, the muscles in your neck and skull contract involuntarily, creating intense pressure. Our facility offers specialized tension headaches for chiropractic careto reverse these physical restrictions and restore your comfort. We put forward specialized care that helps your muscles relax and lets you feel comfortable again.

Recognizing the specific signs is the first step toward recovery:

  • Continuous, heavy pressure across the brow, sides, or rear of the skull.
  • A sensation of a tight band squeezing the head.
  • Scalp sensitivity or tenderness to the touch.
  • General muscle soreness and neck stiffness.Noticeable lapses in focus or mental clarity.
  • Heightened irritation from bright lights or loud noises.
  • Changes in regular appetite or eating habits.

Identifying Your Unique Triggers

Discomfort usually steps into your life due to poor sleep, anxiety, and not sitting or standing comfortably. Other factors, like clenching your jaw, being tired, and excessive alcoholism, can also make these problems happen more often.

Our specialists provide safe, all-inclusive, and effective chiropractic relief for headaches that works alongside your existing healthcare routine. We work with certified practitioners who offer practical lifestyle changes to enhance your physical performance and eliminate chronic recurrences.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
