HeadachesSooner
or later all of us will get a headaches, as it is the most common
pain known to humanity. For more than 20% of the population
headaches are chronic or recurrent. There are over 20 varieties
of headache, and they can all have different causes. Headaches may be caused by noxious chemicals,
bright lights, sinus trouble, eye problems, high blood pressure,
diseased teeth, ear problems, vision problems, fever, infection,
brain tumors, epileptic seizures, carbon monoxide, alcohol consumption,
drug side effects, and most commonly post traumatic headaches caused
by accidents. The arteries in the brain and skull; the veins;
the dura mater, tissue, covering the brain and certain nerves in
the head called cranial nerves are the culprits of the headache The Migraine SyndromeSix to eight percent of
the population suffers from the migraine syndrome headache. In this syndrome the symptoms occur before
the headache begins. Dizziness, visual problems, red eyes,
swelling of the eyes, tearing, muscle contraction, nausea, vomiting,
constipation, or diarrhea are all migraine syndrome symptoms. Migraine
pain is most commonly felt in the temples but can be located in
the head face or neck and last a few minutes or a few days and
be mild or sever agony. The Cluster HeadacheCluster headaches come
on suddenly, are throbbing and spread from the nostril to the
side of the face. They
may occur from one time to several times a day in clusters
lasting weeks or months.
It subsides as quickly as it began. TreatmentTreatment for headaches
will depend on what has caused the headache. Headaches
due to visual problems may be treated with eyeglasses. Headaches
caused by sinus infection may be relieved by getting the infection
under control. Painkillers usually treat
the most common headache, the migraine. Aspirin, codeine,
ergotamine tartrate, phenelzine sulfate and methysergide are among
the most used drug treatments,
however with the narcotic drug treatment there is a high risk of
addiction. The Chiropractic Approach
Chiropractic is not a headache therapy or treatment, however research shows that there is a relationship between the spinal column and headaches, in a study of 600 patients who suffered from headaches for 2 to 25 years showed than spinal column injury was the most prevalent factor in the headaches. Chiropractic professionals are the only trained healing professionals in how to analyze and correct spinal nerve stress called vertebral subluxations. Vertebral subluxation weakens the body, lowers vitality and gives way to disease and illness that would have normally been kept at bay by a healthy spine. In 100 cases of headache sufferers, research showed improvement in headache symptoms when cervical (neck) adjustments were performed by a chiropractor. Instead of swallowing painkillers, and masking symptoms, a chiropractic examination should be performed to determine if vertebral subluxations are related to your headache, and if chiropractic treatment will be helpful in reducing symptoms |
Our chiropractic office educates our patients in lifestyle changes that compliment their spinal care. Chiropractic spinal adjustments strengthen areas of the spine and restore impaired nerve flow. Subluxations occur when vertebra misalign irritating delicate spinal nerves. Spinal adjustments remove the nerve pressure and restore function to the body.
