A cause of headaches can be from spinal bones in the
neck that aren't supporting your head properly. They're
not moving right. This can affect nerves, muscles and
even the blood supply to your head.
Chiropractic doctors locate areas of the spine that
aren't moving properly. They notice if proper spinal
curves are present. They look at your posture and your
ability to turn and bend. These and many other examinations
can help determine if you are likely to benefit from
chiropractic care.
If you're a good chiropractic candidate, your care
will consist of a schedule of chiropractic adjustments.
These help normalize spinal function, help restore essential
spinal curves, improve circulation and reduce nerve
irritation. Many patients report fewer and less severe
headaches.
While we can't guarantee results, our office has a
high success rate with patients who get headaches.
What causes headaches?
The most common causes are physical trauma, emotional
stress, nutritional deficiencies or chemical toxins.
Sometimes there may be a combination of these and other
factors. Our examination process helps identify the
most likely cause.
How long will it take?
Some patients enjoy results quickly. Others notice
a slow decline in their symptoms after several weeks
or longer of chiropractic care. It's impossible to predict.
If you've had chronic headaches for many years, improvement
can take time.
What if I don't have a headache when I come in?
Chiropractic isn't an aspirin! Repeated visits, even
when you're feeling better, can help retrain and strengthen
the muscles that support your spine. Just as it takes
more than one or two workouts at the gym to get in shape,
it takes time for your spine to heal.
What if chiropractic doesn't work?
Headaches may be common, but they're not normal. Every
headache has a cause. If we're unable to find and correct
the cause of your headaches, we can refer to other specialists
who may be able to help. Your health is our only goal.
