There are many types of headaches.
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.
Some estimates suggest 25% of the population has a headache right now! A
comprehensive U.S. study reported that 10 million Americans suffer from moderate
to severe disability from various forms of headaches.
Many people experience correction and relief through 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.
Specific
chiropractic adjustments can help correct spinal joint dysfunction created
by the various chemical, emotional and physical stresses in our lives. Many
patients report headache relief. Others find that the correction of their condition
takes longer because their spinal problem has existed undetected for many years.
Every patient responds differently. Benefit from the drug-free results millions
have enjoyed by consulting a chiropractic doctor. Get started today!
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help correct mechanical restrictions

Drugs can cover up symptoms.
Because headaches are so common, some people think that getting a headache
is just a normal part of life! Headaches are a sign that something’s
wrong. Stress, toxic fumes, certain foods, preservatives, and alcohol
are common culprits. Like a fever, some headaches are related to
an underlying problem.
THE CHIROPRACTIC LIFESTYLE
Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles and
connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. All of the joints
in your body are part of this musculo-skeletal system and its optimal
function is necessary for overall good health. Ask your Doctor of Chiropractic
for more information about a care program that may include specific spinal
adjustments, exercise recommendations, nutritional advice or other conservative
methods of care based on your health history, age, current condition
and lifestyle.
