Tension headaches and migraines can range from mild and annoying to debilitating... Discover the causes of headaches and how they can be managed or relieved through chiropractic:
Why do migraines occur?
It is not pleasant to live with or endure migraines or tension headaches. Nearly 40% of American adults suffer from headaches. Tension headaches and migraines both originate from muscle contractions in the neck or head region. These uncomfortable aches can be triggered by anything from watching a bright screen, listening to loud music, or not eating or drinking enough. Often, people reach for over-the-counter painkillers once they suffer from a headache. There's a chance that the headache will go away and then recur. The prolonged use of these medications can cause severe side effects such as liver damage but there is a natural and drug-free solution available.
Treat Migraines and Tension Headaches With Chiropractic.
Chiropractic care can be extremely helpful in managing and relieving the pain caused by migraines or tension headaches. Regular chiropractic treatments can provide those who suffer from migraines and tension headaches with a safe, non-invasive, non-addictive alternative to prescription medications and over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications.
Chiropractic adjustments aim to reduce inflammation and improve tissue function both in the affected joints and in the nervous system by reducing joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body. Your body is better able to manage migraines and tension headaches when you increase joint mobility and improve your nervous system function and spinal health.
Here are some benefits a chiropractic adjustment can provide migraine sufferers:
Pain relief
Reduced inflammation
Stress and anxiety relief
Enhances physical function
If migraines are treated with over-the-counter medications, they will keep recurring. For that headache, chiropractic treatment may be the best solution.
