Headache Treatments
Chronic headache and migraines affect many Americans. Migraines, in particular, affect roughly 13 percent of adults in the United States. The severity of pain can go from mild and intermittent to episodes of debilitating throbbing and unrelenting agony, as well as nausea. Fortunately, our doctor can diagnose and determine the cause of your headache and customize a headache treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
What Causes a Headache?
Different types of headaches have different underlying causes. Primary headaches are considered a stand-alone illness and are typically caused by over-activity. One of the most common primary headaches includes tension headache. Tension headaches, which can be described as a dull ache around the head, are caused by subluxations in the upper back and neck area. Secondary headaches occur when an outside condition stimulates the nerves of the head, causing pain.
How Chiropractic Care Treats Headaches
Chiropractic care has been proven to treat headache of all types. Manual spinal manipulation can provide almost immediately alleviate pain with significantly fewer side effects and longer lasting relief. Our chiropractor will manipulate the upper two cervical vertebrae and adjust the junction between the cervical and thoracic spine.
