There are headaches that affect people in different ways. Some are caused by tension from sitting at a computer for eight hours at work. Others are migraines, still idiopathic in origin. At Peabody Chiropractic there is help to alleviate them naturally, without the use of drugs.
A tension headache can be experienced as a tight feeling or a dull ache behind the eyes. The cause may be a misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and upper back. A series of manual adjustments work to correct this condition. When pressure is lifted, pain will be reduced.
The small bones, called vertebrae, contain the delicate spinal cord. Chiropractic adjustments can realign them and relieve the pressure. They can be misaligned as the result of an accident, a car crash for example.
Headaches may be short-lived, but frequent. Alternatively, one might last for days. They also differ in origin and intensity.
First, the chiropractor will assess the condition of the individual. A question and answer discussion will determine if certain foods trigger the headaches. Migraines are noted for being triggered by foods, smells and environmental conditions.
It starts when there is a constriction of blood vessels in the brain. That is followed by a rapid dilation of those blood vessels. Although researchers find the rapid dilation to cause the migraine, they are uncertain about what causes the original constriction.
The spine will be examined, both visually and by palpating it. An x-ray of the neck is commonly used to aid the evaluation. When that, and a health history is completed, a plan for care can be formulated.
A series of spinal adjustments are proven to alleviate the pain in both types. Professional advice will be given regarding the foods to avoid. Some examples are cheese and any meat that contains nitrites.
Following the adjustments, headaches often do not return even after the adjustments are concluded. Many clients have routine appointments periodically, to monitor the condition of the spine. If the cervical spine is aligned, it will not cause future headaches.
