Some estimates suggest 25% of the population has a headache right now! A comprehensive US study reported that 10 million Americans suffer from moderate to sever disability from various forms of headaches.
Because headaches are so common, some people think that getting a headache is just a normal part of life! Headaches are sign that something's wrong. What these people do not realize is that the pain causing the headache may be coming from some other region in the body and will continue unless treated. 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. Stress, back, and even muscle pain can send pain signals to the nerves, arteries, and veins inside their head to cause these headaches. Stress, toxins, certain foods, preservatives, and alcohol are common culprits.
Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause. Chiropractic care can relieve and correct the problem causing the pain. We want to help you live your life pain free. There are also ways you can help yourself, like keeping active and getting daily exercise.
