Headaches, Migraines, and Neck Pain- Why you should consider a chiropractor when your head hurts

Migraine headaches account for billions of dollars of lost time at work and countless hours of misery for those unlucky enough to get them. Unfortunately, there has been little new to offer headache sufferers in the way of relief. I want migraine and regular headache sufferers to consider that which is old to be new again. It could mean lasting results and relief they have not been offered before. What I have in mind is old fashioned chiropractic care to free up subluxations in the neck. When bones malign they can place undue pressure on the nerves that feed the head. This alone can cause a tremendous amount of nerve pain. Removing the offending bone will relieve the pressure and pain effectively reducing the headaches.Something else to consider if you have migraines or bad headaches. If your problem comes from a subluxated bone there will be pressure on the brain stem. You may not be up on anatomy but there is brain tissue into the second vertebra in the neck. Any subluxation in the occiput, C1, and C2 bones will affect the lower part of the brain What happens when you crimp delicate brain tissue? It will hurt even more. While I suggested you consider something old did you ever think it would be chiropractic care?Chiropractic care has its' share of detractors. This is in part to the fact that people do not know what it can do for people who have subluxations. If the bone is out of place and putting pressure on brain tissue can a pill effectively remove the pressure? No, of course, it cannot remove nerve pressure. It can block out pain impulses but it can not remove that which is causing the problem.  Whatever their reason are they are not informed about something simple and effective in relieving migraine and headache pain. Maybe you should educate your doctor about the benefits of chiropractic care in relieving migraine pain. All too often the medical profession has a locked in belief that what chiropractors do is of little merit. What are they basing their beliefs on? It is time to change beliefs in the interest of helping patients get better.One of the greatest benefits of chiropractic care in the treatment of migraines is that there is no damage to the liver, kidney or intestinal tract. Migraine sufferers have their headaches for years, in most cases, they are chronic in nature. Prolonged usage of NSAIDs are serious and can jeopardize your health. These are serious consequences especially in light of the fact they could be helped with a simple chiropractic adjustment.If the migraine sufferer does not feel enough improvement further tests such as an MRI or Ct Scan could be in order. Patients with chronic headaches need MRI's to make better diagnoses. I will never let a patient go more then 4 weeks without advanced studies if they are not progressing enough.So what does this mean to you if you have migraines? Go find a chiropractor.Taking medication may help mitigate the migraines but if they keep returning you obviously have a problem. Solve that problem and get the relief my patients with migraines enjoy.Have a Question? Just AskThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.
