Studies show that 9 out of 10 people suffer from occasional headaches, while 7 out of 10 people suffer from frequent headache pain, including migraine headaches. Many sufferers and their health practitioners search for relief through medications, these are only temporary solutions that have a wide range of side effects, including internal organ damage.
Research has shown that chiropractic care is helpful for many headache sufferers. This is due to the fact that misalignments in the cervical spine interfere with nerves that return to the cranial region to control muscles, blood supply, sensory function, etc. Nerve pressure in the cervical spine produces predictable pain patterns associated with headaches.
Chiropractic focuses on maintaining the correct position of the spinal bones to support the neck and head muscles for the relief of stress and spasms. Both the relaxation of the muscles in the back and correct alignment of the spinal bones, relieve the spinal nerves of the pressure and allow the correct flow of energy through the nerves. The doctors at Lindsey Chiropractic Care focus on treatments to eliminate nerve interference allowing the body to return to it's optimal function and eliminating headaches.
