Understanding Your Headache Pain
Headaches aren't fun, and migraines are even worse! Living with either of these issues can make you grumpy, exhausted, and even unable to work. While medication can help in the short term, an ongoing or recurring problem needs a better solution. Proper care can help you overcome this debilitating issue.
Causes of Headaches and Migraines
Whether you're trying to cope with a persistent headache or the worst symptoms associated with migraines, the cause of your pain may be structural. The spine can move out of place due to developmental problems, injuries, repetitive stress, or other factors. When this happens, it places additional strain on the surrounding nerves, compressing or irritating them. This can result in a tightening of the muscles of the neck, trunk and jaw, leading directly to acute headache or migraine. Over time, this tension can cause muscles to pull, creating more distress such as more persistent migraines and headaches.
Pain or headache can be a indication that there are issues arising with your spine. Because every system in your body is directly impacted by your spinal health, it's very important to deal with these issues when signs of discomfort begin.
Care for Headaches & Migraines
Chiropractors possess an extensive knowledge of subtle spinal problems that can make it the origin of pain related to the nervous system. Chiropractic care begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your pain and analyze your spine for potential misalignment. The assessment will determine the therapy needed for your specific issue. Gentle and noninvasive techniques enable our chiropractors to perform subtle adjustments that can provide almost instant relief, reviving your long-term well-being.
Unlike prescription drugs, which only treat your symptoms and provide short-term relief, chiropractic adjustments directly address the cause of your headaches or migraines and often provide lasting results. If you're struggling with headaches or migraines, contact us for help!
