A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back.
When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. When spinal nerves and related tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
Many people find relief and correction with chiropractic care.
If a thorough examination reveals reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves, or mechanical restrictions, chiropractic care should be considered. After a complete explanation, you'll receive a care program designed for your unique spinal problem.
There are many common causes of headaches including high blood pressure, low blood sugar, hormonal changes, hangover, and dental problems. These, however, are small in number in comparison with headaches that are caused by tension of the neck and head muscles and irritation to nerves. Another common cause of headache is the vascular phenomenon known as migraine.
Alteration in the normal alignment and function of the spinal bones in the neck and upper back can cause irritation and inflammation of the muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. This can result in the common types of headaches that many experience. Before any treatment is initiated, we will examine you thoroughly to identify the causes of your headaches.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving and correcting the alignment, balance and function of the spinal joints and muscles. This may provide relief from recurring headaches, without the use of drugs and medications.
