Do You Suffer From Headaches
There are many people who suffer from headaches on a regular basis. In some cases, headaches can be so severe that they disrupt daily life. If you are one of these people, you may be wondering if chiropractic care could help. The answer is yes-chiropractic care can help relieve tension headaches and migraines. In this blog post, we will discuss the science behind how chiropractic helps headaches. We will also look at some of the research that has been conducted on this topic.
Tension Headaches
One of the most common types of headaches is “tension headache”. Tension headaches are often caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. This type of headache can be very painful and can make it difficult to concentrate or perform daily activities. Chiropractic care can help relieve this type of headache by reducing muscle tension caused by stuck, misaligned and irritated joints. Research shows that people who received chiropractic treatment for their tension headaches reported a notable decrease in pain.
Migraines
Migraines are another type of headache that can be very painful and debilitating. Migraines are often caused by changes in the brainstem and nervous system. Chiropractic care can help to adjust sensory input into these areas, which can lead to a reduction in migraine pain and frequency. In a 2014 study, chiropractic treatment for migraines resulted in a substantial reduction in pain.
