How a Chiropractor Get Help You Find Relief
Studies show that nearly 40 million people around the world report problems with chronic headaches, including migraines. The vast majority are women—females are up to five times more likely to experience persistent head pain. Most people don’t realize that one of the most effective ways to treat chronic headaches, including migraines, is through chiropractic care. Far too often, people attempt to mask the pain with medication, failing to get to the root of the problem.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care When Treating a Headache
When you work with a chiropractor to treat persistent headaches, you can count on your doctor working with you to get to the source of the pain. Statistics show that many headaches, including migraines, are a consequence of muscle strain or tension, or are caused by the misalignment of your spinal cord. A chiropractor can employ a number of techniques to relax tense muscles and help rebuild strength in the muscles around your head and neck. In addition, a chiropractor can perform spinal adjustments or manipulation, realigning your spinal cord to alleviate head pain.
Your chiropractor can also help you make lifestyle changes that may reduce the incidence of headaches, including dietary changes, tools for stress management, and strategies for improving your sleep habits.
A chiropractor might use the following tools to help you find relief from headaches:
- Myofascial massage targeting the membranes that support and connect muscles in the neck and head
- General massage to alleviate tension in your muscles
- Trigger point therapy to target certain areas within your muscles
