Headaches

Headaches – Suffering from chronic headaches can be unbearable. There are many kinds of headaches, but regardless of the kind you suffer from, odds are you want it to be addressed immediately and the pain alleviated. Sometimes just aligning the spine can play a major role in reducing the frequency of headaches.

 

Spinal manipulation has proven effective for treating headaches. Since 95% of the headaches are identified as either tension, migraine or cluster headaches, you want to treat the headache itself as they are not the result of any kind of disease or disorder. Muscle tension in the neck is the cause of most headaches, according to experts. Some are aggravated by sedentary activities like staying in the same posture for hours on end. The result is joint irritation and muscle tension in the upper back, scalp and neck, thus resulting in horrible headaches. 

A visit to the chiropractor will result in spinal adjustments and manipulation, nutritional changes with the addition of B complex vitamins, and recommendations regarding posture, relaxation techniques and exercise. With the treatment plan and advice, the patient should be able to relieve the recurring tension in the back and neck muscles and reduce the recurring joint irritation.
