Headaches

Conditions Treated

Chiropractic care is effective in headache management because it corrects imbalances in the neck and spine, which are often the cause of headaches.  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.

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 usual position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels leading 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.

Many people experience correction and relief through chiropractic care.
