People of all ages and walks of life, from differing professions and backgrounds experience amazing improvements with their health and wellness through the use of consistent chiropractic care.

Headaches and Chiropractic care

Headaches are the second most often heard patient complaint, (next to the sniffles and cold), and the most common reason people search out a medical practitioner. Most headaches are not serious and can be dealt with through different medical and natural techniques. We treat headaches, especially chronic issues, in the most natural way possible without medication. The main causes of head pain are; the network of nerves that traverse throughout the scalp, and from blood vessels in the brain. Most headaches are referred to as secondary, which means they are probably caused by an underlying condition; a primary headache is far less common and needs to be taken more seriously.           

Here are most of the types of headaches people suffer from:

• Cluster headaches
• Pregnancy headaches
• Sinus headaches
• Tension headaches
• Spinal headaches
• Caffeine headaches
• Menstrual headaches
• Exertion headaches
• Hangover headaches
• Hypertension headaches
• Tumor headaches
• Meningitis and encephalitis headaches
• Post-traumatic headaches
• Temporal arteritis

Types of Headaches helped by Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic can be very important for helping those suffering from headaches, including migraines, headaches caused by tension and stress, and many other secondary type headaches. Tension headaches are usually described as a feeling of a tight band or steady ache around the head and behind the eyes. This tension can derive from subluxations in the upper back and neck which we treat with chiropractic adjustments quite successfully. Many headaches are caused by this neck area and upper back and shoulder tension that you might not even notice. Chiropractors are very skilled at helping patients deal with stress and tension ongoing and can help in avoiding the condition of migraines and stress headaches in the first place. Ongoing pre-natal chiropractic care will help pregnancy headaches as well. Spinal health can go a long way to helping the body stave off painful symptoms including many types of headache.
