Written By Dr. Jay Brodwyn & Associates on April 30, 2018

Are persistent headaches affecting your day-to-day life? Wanting to find a natural cure for your headaches once and for all? 

You’re not alone. 

Approximately 90% of people in the US suffer from headaches. These might only occur occasionally or they may be frequent, and they could even result in severe and debilitating pains that leave the sufferer feeling nauseous. 

If this sounds like you, what do you do when you feel one of your pounding headaches coming on? 

Do you grimace and try to get through the day as best you can? Do you try and sleep it off? Or do you take some medication and pray that the pain will go away? 

Chiropractic could provide you with the natural headache treatment you’ve been looking for.

Natural Headache Treatment with Chiropractic

Spinal manipulation is a tried-and-tested technique that’s revered by chiropractors around the world. And research demonstrates that it could be effective when treating certain types of headaches, especially those that arise as a result of a tension headache or one that starts in the neck. 

Your headaches could be triggered by a whole host of things, from the foods you eat and the environment you’re in to the behavior of your body (e.g. insomnia). 

In most cases, 5% of headaches will indicate that there’s something more sinister afoot, while the rest are classed as “primary headaches,” meaning tension, cluster, or migraine. These aren’t caused by an underlying disease, which means the headache itself is what needs treating. 

And because the majority of these headaches come from tension in the muscles and neck, it’s this area that your chiropractor in Columbus can target to alleviate the pain. 

What Will Your Chiropractic Program Include? 

At your first consultation with your chiropractor, they’ll discuss an effective treatment program for you based on your individual symptoms and lifestyle. Then, they may boost the function of your spine while reducing any stress in your system by carrying out spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustments. 

Their treatment may also include lifestyle advice, including what dietary changes you can make to improve your symptoms and how to correct your posture to reduce muscle tension. Covering exercises, relaxation practices, and posture improvements, their advice, teamed with their chiropractic therapies, can help reduce tension in your muscles which will ease your headaches. 

As you can see, chiropractors are trained to do a lot more than just offer low back pain relief. They understand how crucial the spine is in the overall health of your body, and this allows them to provide ongoing relief from painful conditions like headaches.
