Headache & Migraine Treatment with Our Chiropractors
Chiropractor for Migraines and Headaches: What You Should Know
Women get headaches 50% more often, for longer periods, and more severely than men. In addition, they are two-and-a-half times more likely to suffer from migraine headaches
Headaches and Migraines can be annoying, painful, and downright debilitating. Thus, they can affect all aspects of life, including work, leisure activities, and, most importantly, relationships. Although somewhat common, this pain is not normal. It is your body’s warning sign that something is amiss and needs attention.
If you’re looking for a natural, drug-free solution, seeing a chiropractor for headaches or migraines may be the answer. Contrary to what your doctor might say, peer-reviewed medical research shows most headaches originate from neck misalignment.
Is Medication the Solution?
Painful headaches and migraines often lead people to take common over-the-counter medications to try and get some relief. Unfortunately, the overuse of these medications have raised disturbing questions about the safety of over-the-counter, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory pain relievers (NSAIDs) such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Naproxen, Ibuprofen and others.
Although not classified as an anti-inflammatory, Acetaminophen or Tylenol use is responsible for 12% of all patients hospitalized with drug overdoses and 40% of patients with acute liver failure; the kidneys are also severely taxed by the use/overuse of this drug.
All of these commonly used medications may make one feel temporarily better; however, they can clearly have a detrimental impact on long-term health and will most certainly not address the CAUSE of a migraine, just the symptom. This is why many individuals are now turning to a chiropractor for migraines or headaches as a safer, drug-free approach.
Your Neck is the Source
Regardless of what your doctor, pharmacist, friend or even a Tylenol ad has told you, under most circumstances, a migraine is not normal. It is your body’s way of letting you know you have a problem. Many people blame outside influences on their headaches and migraines. Examples include stress from work, interpersonal relationships, sports, barometric pressure, fluorescent light, and coffee. Agreed, many life factors can cause stress. However, if your body is strong and sound, and your posture is within the normal range, the stresses from the world we live in should not cause a migraine or any other pain, for that matter. If they do, there is most likely an underlying structural problem.
Your next step is to figure out if you have a structural problem. Have your body’s structure and biomechanics assessed by an expert in posture, as that will most likely get to the cause.
