Headache disorders are among the top 10
most disabling conditions. They are extremely
common to say the least, and interestingly
enough, women are affected by headaches
more frequently than men.
Do you or someone you know suffer with
frequent headaches? The fact is we all seem
to have that friend or co-worker who struggles
with migraines. Of course it could even be you.

Headache is defined as just that: pain in the head or upper neck. It is one of the most common
locations of pain in the body and can have a number of causes. Typical types of headaches include
migraine, tension, and cluster headaches. There are also a variety of less common types of
headaches.
If you suffer from headaches, you’ve probably tried just about anything you could think of to get rid of the
pain. In the end, taking a natural chiropractic approach can be extremely effective and may help you to
relieve your pain without resorting to the all-too-common treatment option: over the counter pain
medication. Resorting to over-the-counter solution can lead to dependence and abuse.

Fortunately, there are a number of proven natural strategies
that can help. Here are some of the most important and
effective non pharmaceutical options for dealing with
headaches: chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture,
exercise, and ergonomics.
I have never seen a headache patient who did not have some
type of misalignment of the bones of the neck (cervical spine).
It is amazing how much muscle spasm and tension can be
caused by misaligned bones. When bones are even slightly
out of alignment, the muscles attached to them become
stressed, so they become tight.

stressed, so they become tight.
Tight muscles restrict nerve transmission and circulation through the blood vessels. This can
contribute to all sorts of problems, including headaches and neck pain. Having a chiropractor adjust
those spinal bones back into normal alignment will reset your system. The joints will have better
movement, the muscles can begin to relax on their own and the circulation and nervous systems can
start to flow properly again.
Chiropractic and massage therapy work very well together. I encourage my patients to schedule their
massage shortly before or after chiropractic treatment. This way, the adjustments and the muscle
relaxation can work together.
I also work with each patient in developing better ergonomics that can lead to less tension being placed
on the neck and body. Exercise is the strengthening component of the natural headache management
approach. Performed correctly, specific exercises can help strengthen upper back and neck muscles
and improve posture, which will reduce the risk of muscle tension and poor posture related dysfunction
that can contribute to headaches.
If you do suffer with headaches, please schedule an appointment with our office so we can find out
together if a more natural approach would help you with the nagging pain of headaches.
