Headaches make it difficult to function. Perhaps the most frustrating part about headaches is how difficult it can be to rid yourself of them. They tend to both linger and reoccur, making life with headaches a frustrating one indeed.
Are we doomed to have headache pain forever? Not if the chiropractor has anything to say about it.
Is Chiropractic Effective Against Headaches?
According to the Canadian Chiropractic Association, chiropractic care may help in the treatment of certain types of headaches, as well as be an effective way to decrease the frequency and intensity of migraines.
The majority of primary headaches are associated with some sort of tension in the muscles around the head and neck. Chiropractors may use spinal manipulation to ease this tension, as well as properly align the vertebrae of the spine and improve the function of the spine and central nervous system. Along with regular chiropractic adjustments, the chiropractor may also suggest other lifestyle changes to help you avoid headache triggers.
