Headaches are a common health complaint, with over nine out of 10 people experiencing them at some point in their lives. There are many possible causes of headaches, including tension, sinus issues, eyestrain, and even certain foods. While over-the-counter pain medications can provide temporary relief, they do not address the root cause of the headache.
A chiropractor is trained to identify and treat the underlying cause of headaches using various safe and effective techniques. By focusing on the whole body, a chiropractor can help provide long-term relief and prevent future headaches from occurring. Chiropractic care can help you feel better and live a more healthy life. In addition, chiropractic care can help keep you from taking drugs or pain medications that may have unpleasant side effects. The initial phase of care puts most of the work on us.
You just have to show up! This phase is crucial for sustaining the progress achieved and preventing the recurrance of symptoms. This phase also aims to preserve proper alignment, joint mobility and over all spinal health. Again, showing up is important, but now you get to do some work too. We will work together to put together exercises, stretches and possible lifestyle tweaks to keep you on track.
The final phase of healing is wellness care. During wellness care, we develop personalized plans that incorporate regular visits, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. A chiropractor will begin by conducting a comprehensive consultation and exam of your lower back, neck, and head.
By performing physical tests and asking questions about the severity, frequency, location, and duration of the headache, a chiropractor can determine if chiropractic care is right for you. There are over different types of headaches. Determining which headache you are suffering from will define the appropriate steps for care.
