How Can Chiropractic Care Help My Headache?
There are over 200 causes of headache. In today’s culture reaching

pain. The problem? Many of these drugs have a proven history of
ineffectiveness and other undesirable side effects. All natural alternatives however, like the
expert chiropractic care and treatment we provide offers safe and effective
ways to end your headache pain and the many reasons for it.
Migraine and tension-type headaches
are often present in people who report chronic neck pain, according to researchers in
Australia, (Cephalalgia Cephalgia 2007;27:793-802).
When neck muscles get tight, stiffen-up and contract, then a chain of events occur sparked by poor posture or stress, and the result is a tug-of-war between muscles and spinal bones. This situation plays out leading to the development of spinal restrictions.
