Have you tried pills, coffee, resting in the dark... and nothing seems to relieve that throbbing pain in your head? Do you feel that your migraine has already become part of your life? Maybe the solution does not lie in more medication, but rather in look at your neck and spine.
Today we tell you how to find headache relief naturally, with the help of chiropractic.
Why the headaches?
Headaches can have many causes: stress, dehydration, muscle tension, poor posture, even certain foods. But there is something that many people don't know: a misaligned spine can be the true origin of that pain that won't go away.
The head is directly connected to the neck and upper back. When these areas have tension, lack of movement or are misaligned, the nerves and muscles become irritated... and that's when the pain begins.
Most common types of headaches
As explained in this videoThere are different types of pain:
- MigrainesThrobbing pain, almost always on one side of the head. Sometimes with nausea, vomiting or sensitivity to light.
- Tension headacheThe headache: it feels like a tight band around the head, with pain in the neck or scalp.
- Cluster headachepain behind one eye, may cause red eyes, nasal congestion or agitation.
- Pain due to medicationpain: appears when we take too many painkillers and the body no longer responds.
How does chiropractic help?
The chiropractic does not treat pain with pills.but rather looking for the source of the problem. If the root is in a bad posture, cervical stress o vertebral misalignmentIf you are a chiropractor, the chiropractor can help you with:
- Chiropractic adjustmentsGentle movements to realign your spine and neck.
- Cervical therapytechniques focused on reducing muscle tension and improving neck mobility.
- Stretching and exercises to strengthen the area and prevent the pain from returning.
These treatments help to release nerves, reduce inflammation and improve circulation in the area. All of this contributes to natural migraine reliefwithout the need to rely on medication.
And what does posture have to do with it?
A lot. As we show in our video about the forward head posturewhen your head tilts forward (as when looking at your cell phone), the weight on your neck is multipliedcausing tension and pain.
A head 3 inches forward can cause your neck to bear double or triple the weight. That creates pressure on the nerves, which in many people ends up in... constant headache.
Is chiropractic treatment for headaches safe?
Yes, chiropractic is science-based, safe, and in many cases is recommended as a complementary treatment. As long as you go to a certified practitioner and are properly evaluated, the results can be very positive.
The headache relief may be closer than you think... and without the need to take more pills.
If you suffer from frequent migraines, pain that comes from the neck or a pressure that won't go away, maybe your body is telling you it needs a change.
