Headaches
Nearly everyone alive (aside from some blessed anomalies) will experience headaches in their lifetime. Head pain can be dull, sharp, radiating and pulsating, isolated, or felt in multiple areas around the skull at once. Many causes of headaches can simply be fixed by drinking sufficient amounts of water or taking over-the-counter pain medicine such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol. However, in some cases the pain becomes progressively worse, hits suddenly, or is actually caused by a more severe underlying health condition.
At Keller Disc and Spine we treat the underlying causes of headaches when they are caused by mis-alignment, injury, or when standard OTC medication isn’t the right solution. In fact, our Keller, TX office has the highest listed pain management and reduction rates in the entire DFW area. If you’re suffering from a headache that just won’t go away, or multiple headaches that reoccur often, Keller Disc and Spine should be your next call.
Causes & When To Go To the Doctor For a Headache
It’s difficult to know what causes the vast majority of headaches. Whether it’s the nerves, blood vessels, muscle tissues, joints, or sinuses, there are many potential causes for head pain. While many patients are familiar with tension headaches, sinus headaches, migraines, and head pain caused by concussion, dehydration, ear infections, and the flu, it’s important to know at what point you should visit the doctor’s office. To know when to seek professional medical treatment, ask yourself the following:
- Is this an unusually severe headache?
- Are my headaches getting worse?
- When I have a headache, do I also have a loss of motor functions, fever, confusion or seizures?
- Did I recently receive a blow to the head?
- Did the pain start suddently?

Are you suffering from lower back pain? If you are, you’re not alone and there’s hundreds of possible reasons that you’re currently in pain. Lower back pain is one of the most commonly body aches that people receive during their lifetime and should generally be treated with care and gentleness.
Many times we pull, tear, or injure a muscle or ligament in our backs by accident or realize the pain hours or days after the initial cause of the injury. For these injuries it may be okay to simply allow yourself to rest the affected area, but much more likely, you should seek professional help to diagnose and treat your specific injury.

Spinal Decompression
If you have chronic or lasting back or neck pain, you know how much it can impede your normal day to day life. You may be unable to focus on tasks in your daily life such as work, family, or school. If this is the case and you really want to find relief, then spinal decompression may help relieve the pressure on the discs in your spine. Here’s some things to help you decide if you want to try this course of action:
Why Choose Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression?
Nonsurgical spinal decompression uses a motorized machine to apply traction that pulls the spine apart and relieves pressure from the discs. By gently stretching the spine, the spine is allowed to reposition itself the way it’s naturally meant to be. Taking pressure off the discs can allow movement of blood, water, oxygen, and other important fluids so that it can heal.
We use spinal decompression to treat:
- Back, neck, and sciatica pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Overused and worn out spinal joints
- Damaged and diseased spinal nerve roots
