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.

How to be Happy as a Couple

It’s fabulous when you think you’ve found the magic one, that partner of your dreams. But without a little bit of consistent effort, it won’t continue to be perfect. Here are a few suggestions to stay happy together as a couple.
There is a reason you couldn’t resist wanting to go to bed together. Couples who go to bed at the same time tend to stay together. It’s OK if one of you is an earlier riser, you can get up and do whatever it is you need to or want to do. But always go to bed together.
Share one another’s interests. I’m not always excited about going to the hardware store or to the computer store, but I make myself accompany my partner because he enjoys those encounters. In turn, he is more willing to go into a paper and pen store, or to an art store. By respecting the interests of one another, we validate what is important to each of us. This builds strong relationships.
Touch one another, whenever possible. When you are walking together, hold hands and walk side by side. Moving ahead to see things should never take precedence over the relationships you have with each other.
Always trust one another and be willing to forgive. Anytime you have an argument, forget being right and focus on moving forward together. Being right can be darn lonely. And afterward, remember the things your partner has done right rather than the things they’ve done wrong. Focusing on the negative brings more negativity into your relationship.
Be sure to hug one another every chance you get. Kiss each other hello and goodbye. Say “I love you” and mean it.

Taking things like this for granted is the first step to having problems later in life. But by lovingly acknowledging one another, we give each other the opportunity to overcome the challenges we face as we battle the world. It sure is nice to know someone’s got your back.
Happy couples do things differently than unhappy couples. They support and validate one another. They work hard to show a united front to the world around them. Any one of these ideas might be new to you, but when you do it every single day for a month, you have developed a very healthy habit that contributes to you staying together.
