Headaches, when experiences on a regular basis tend to indicate a structural malfunction. Some people get headaches once in a great while others get a headache daily. The causes of headache are varied. Most headaches are minor inconveniences that go away with minimal intervention. A rare headache may indicate more of a problem, but a thorough clinical examination like that provided by Chiropractor can rule out a serious cause and help address the pain of a bothersome headache.
Chiropractic offers to headache sufferers. The practice of these moderate adjustments is equipped with, a gentle, safe treatment to effectively address the cervical spine source of headache pain. Its gentle stretching as described by patients not only feels good, but may be the answer to your headache pain.
COMMON HEADACHE SYMPTOMS and CAUSES
When you have a headache, do you notice the tightness and pain in your neck, shoulders, and often most noticeably at the base of your skull where your head meets the neck? This is the nerve irritation and muscle spasm prompted by many causes resulting in radiating pain into the head – the so-called headache. Causes of headache are varied, but many commonly stem from a problem in the neck, cervical spine like disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, disc herniation, pinched nerves, facet joint irritation, even cerebrospinal fluid flow in the spinal cord.
Chiropractic care deals with subluxations, misalignments of vertebrae causing nerve irritation, anywhere along the spinal column, not just in the lower back. Sometimes the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned or lose their range of motion for one reason or another. This misalignment puts pressure on nerves leading to and from the brain. A chiropractor helps put them back in place by using gentle and highly skilled adjustments.
Chiropractic treatment is not something that is generally used on its own. One of the dangers of chiropractic is simply that someone will rely on the treatment alone and miss out on other issues that need to be treated. It's best to talk to your doctor and let her know that you're using an alternate therapy, and for what. That being said, going to a chiropractor for your headache relief is an extremely safe and effective way to treat headache or migraine without drugs. The idea behind chiropractic is not that the condition itself is treated, but that the body is able to heal itself. Some people have dramatic results, and become completely headache free. Some migraine sufferers find complete relief. Others find relief simply from some symptoms or after effects of the migraine attack. The best thing to do is find a chiropractor that you're comfortable with, and track the results of the treatment over time.
