HEADACHE RELIEF WITH EXPERT CHIROPRACTIC
Headaches are a common condition that most patients can experience at any age. With over 150 types of headaches, they fall into two primary categories: primary and secondary headaches.
Primary headaches are due to dysfunction or overactivity of the pain reception of the head. Secondary headaches are felt as a side effect of an underlying medical condition.
Understanding The Two Types of Headaches
Types of primary headaches are tension-type headaches (the most common type of headache), migraine headaches, and cluster headaches.
Secondary headaches include dehydration headaches, sinus headaches, thunderclap headaches, and medication overuse headaches.
Whether it be a primary or secondary headache, headache pain results from signals interacting among your brain, blood vessels and surrounding nerves. Multiple mechanisms activate specific nerves during a headache that affect muscles and blood vessels. These nerves send pain signals to your brain, causing a headache.
How Wilderness Ridge Chiropractic Can Help
According to the Journal of Occupational Trauma, "headaches are more frequently caused by spinal stress than any other condition." That's why chiropractic care is a great way to naturally manage and relieve pain caused by headaches because we get to the cause. The origin of most headaches lies in nerve interference or pressure on cranial and spinal nerve roots.
A gentle chiropractic adjustment reduces misalignments in the spine and eliminates nerve interference and pressure to reduce inflammation and improve the function of the affected area and the nervous system. This helps improve your nervous system function and spinal health so your body can better manage the pain caused by migraines and headaches.
