Headaches and Chiropractic

Most people who suffer with headaches think that getting a headache is just a normal part of life. Headaches are common but they are a sign that something is wrong!

While many things can trigger a headache, a frequently overboard cause of headaches is misalignment or malfunction of the bones in the neck.

When bones in the neck lose their normal position, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can become irritated. When these nerves become irritated this can cause throbbing headaches. Taking medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen may cover up some of these warning signs but they do not correct what is causing them.

Many people experience correction and complete relief of their headaches, no matter how severe, through very gentle realignment of the bones in the neck.

If a thorough examination reveals reduced range of motion, loss of spinal curves, or misalignment of bones in your neck… then chiropractic care should be considered! After a complete explanation you will receive a care program designed for your unique spinal problem.

Specific very gentle adjustments can help correct the spinal joint dysfunctions which may be causing the headache symptoms.

Many patients report complete relief of their headaches quickly. Others find that the correction of their condition takes longer because their spinal problem has existed undetected for many years. Every patient responds differently, but if you have a headache before treatment at our office (which is caused from misalignment of neck bones) relief will be obvious after your treatment. This will let you know if your headache is caused from a misalignment of your neck bones.
