Headaches
Headache Causes
One of the most frequent issues patients bring up when they visit a chiropractor is headaches.
Few people are aware that chiropractors are able to treat headaches successfully.
90% of the population experience headaches at some point in their lives. There are many different sorts, with differing degrees of severity; some are more bothersome and draining on energy while others are more incapacitating and can significantly affect a person’s life.
Chiropractors understand headaches are a sign something is wrong with the body which may be caused by a variety of factors, – including stress, poor diet, dehydration, poor posture and eye strain, to mention a few.
Although they are very uncommon, more serious causes of headaches may be brain tumours or diabetes.
Everyday, our bodies react and adjust to the stresses we are exposed to; for the most part, this happens without our awareness. However, this can often result in debilitating headaches, stopping us from carrying out daily activities.
Solutions
At Back Care Chiropractic we are skilled at identifying the parts of the spine that are stressed. Dr Abie will adjust any spinal misalignments brought on by these stressors. Your neurological system works much more effectively when the strain is relieved from the spine and the tension is released. This reduces pressure on the neck, ligaments, muscles and blood vessels – frequently easing symptoms, including headaches and general drowsiness.
Keep in mind that your spine will use significantly more energy during the day if it has to work harder due to misalignment, and we could all use a little extra energy!
