Headaches are a very predominant problem, and one of the most common conditions that bring practice members into a chiropractor's office.
While extremely common, not everybody gets headaches! Therefore, they are not normal, and nobody should have to "learn to live with it." Popular cultural solutions to headaches today, suggest taking something for your headaches. An over-the-counter pain killer, prescription pain killers, and in some drastic cases, people resort to the use of illegal narcotics! A symptom (headache) is your body's way of telling you that there is something wrong inside. Taking a pain killer to mask the symptom is like pulling the battery on the smoke alarm in the hallway, even though there is a fire blazing in the kitchen.
One of the most common causes of headaches is misaligned spinal bones (subluxation) that put pressure on nerves in the neck and head. This pressure may cause the muscles to tighten (tension type headaches) or may even cause a constriction of blood vessels to the brain and head (a proposed theory for migraine headaches). While chiropractic does not treat headaches, practice members experience immense relief from some symptoms of headaches, when the pressure is removed from the nerves by the chiropractic adjustment.
