Headaches and Chiropractic Care
Some estimates suggest that 25 percent of the population has a headache right now. Because headaches are so common, most people think it is a normal part of life. Headaches, however, are a sign that something is wrong. We know that stress, toxic fumes, certain foods and preservatives and even alcohol can cause headaches. A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back.
When the bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, the sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head become compromised. When these delicate tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce certain types of headaches. While aspirin or other medications may cover up the symptoms, they do not really correct the cause of the headache.
This is why many people have found relief from headaches through regular chiropractic care. Many patients report immediate relief while others find that the correction of their problem takes longer. This is generally because their problem has existed undetected for many years. Every patient responds a bit differently. Regardless of how quick it happens, chiropractic care is a drug-free way to achieve results.
See your doctor of chiropractic if you suffer from headaches. A thorough examination may reveal reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves or mechanical restrictions. After your complete examination, you'll receive a care plan designed specifically for your unique problem.
