Pain Relief

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably had a headache before. You may even hold the common belief that everybody suffers from headaches…they’re normal, right? Some headaches are just a dull pain, others are throbbing, and some are downright debilitating. Some occur on only one side of the head while others are so severe that they create sound and light sensitivity or nausea. So, headaches may be common, but they certainly aren’t normal. Here’s how chiropractic can help.  

TYPES OF HEADACHES  

Three common types of headaches include:  

  • Tension headaches: These headaches are often a result of emotional stress or tension in the head, neck, or shoulders. When muscles fail to relax, these headaches can be constant.
  • Migraines: Migraines can be triggered by factors including stress, hormonal changes, wine, certain foods, and even weather. They also are more common in women than in men.  
  • Cervicogenic headaches: These headaches are typically a result of whiplash, poor posture, or functional or structural changes to the shoulders and neck. They frequently cause pain behind the eyes and in the forehead.  

When most people experience headaches, they reach for an over-the-counter pain reliever. Some migraine sufferers even take medication every single day design to prevent a headache from starting. Some of these medications come with unwanted side effects, so if you are looking for a natural therapy, chiropractic may be the solution for you.  

CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND HEADACHE RELIEF  

Most people tend to believe that chiropractors are only for neck and back pain, but many of our patients find relief from chronic headaches when they come to us to improve their health and wellness. At Wills Chiropractic, our goal is to find the underlying spinal issues a patient may have that are causing their issues, including headaches. This can include loss of the proper cervical curve, slight misalignments, or even the effects of spinal decay.
