HEADACHES AND MIGRAINE
Suffering From Headaches?
If you have a headache, you’re not alone. Headaches affect all people at some time in their life. An occasional headache is bad enough, but regular head pain can make your everyday life miserable.
Some are occasional, some frequent, some are dull and throbbing, and some cause debilitating pain and nausea.
What do you do when you suffer from a headache? Do you push yourself to carry on anyway? Do you take painkillers and hope the pain goes away? There is also another alternative.
The Alternative
Research shows that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, which is one of the primary treatments provided by doctors of Chiropractic, is an effective treatment option for acute and chronic migraine and headaches that originate in the neck, known as cervicogenic type headaches*. Therefore, chiropractic care could help reduce the number of headaches you experience weekly or monthly, or even reduce their intensity making it easier for you to cope with your everyday life activities.
