Chiropractic Helps Relieve Headache Pain

Did you know that 9 of 10 Americans suffer from headaches either occasionally or daily?!?  That's unbelievable!  I had no idea that nearly 45 million people are suffering from chronic, recurring headaches either!  I know most of my patients, before chiropractic, believed that they were just going to have to get use to them.  Well, that's just not true or acceptable in my eyes!

Did you know that it's estimated that 20% of children and adolescents suffer from significant headaches, some of which cause debilitating pain and nausea?!  Research has shown that Chiropractic care is effective in treating tension headaches, as well as headaches that originate in the neck.

Here are some recommendations that the American Chiropractors Association (ACA) offers to help reduce the risk of headaches:

• If you spend a lot of time in one position (sitting in front of a computer) take breaks every 30 minutes to one hour in order to stretch.
• Low impact exercise, such as walking and low-impact-aerobics, may help relieve the pain of primary headaches.
• Avoid clenching teeth, as this stress on the jaw contributes to tension headaches (we adjust very gently the joints of the jaw in my office, which has helped a lot of people with their headaches).
• Drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water each day to prevent dehydration.  Avoid caffeine, salty and sugary foods and drinking alcoholic beverages (ok, we know this won't happen so at least keep them in moderation).
• Chiropractic adjustments are a recommended and proven treatment option, as it improves spinal function and alleviates stress on your system.
