Headaches are not just painful, but they interfere with everyday activities and can adversely affect many aspects of your life.  There are different types of headaches including tension headaches, cluster headaches and migraine headaches.  Sometimes, headaches can be resolved by taking an over-the-counter headache medicine. However, when the root cause is something deeper, these medications only provide a temporary fix.  Our next series of articles will discuss some of the ways chiropractic care is used to provide headache relief that lasts.  Let’s get started:

Proper Alignment

There are many reasons why your spine may become out of alignment, from not having the proper chair height when sitting at your desk to various types of injuries. Headaches can occur when your spine is out of alignment. Chiropractic adjustments will put the spine back in proper alignment, which, in turn, restores communication with the nervous system, alleviates friction on nerves, and reduces muscle tension.

Decrease Inflammation

Inflammation causes many problems throughout the body, including headaches. A chiropractic back pain doctor can help reduce inflammation through manual adjustments, massage therapy, and other types of treatments that target the source of inflammation.

Our next article will cover more ways that chiropractic care is used to provide relief from headaches.
