What causes headaches?
Some headaches are caused by serious conditions, but a majority of them come from problems in the neck and back. They are called “cervicogenic.” “Cervico” means “neck” and “Genic” means, “comes from.”
These conditions can take many forms. They can feel like a band around the head, they can be pressure at the base of your skull, they can be over your eyes, they can be over your temples. Headaches vary from person to person and an individualized treatment is important.
What can Chiropractic do for headaches?
The good news is that we know what causes many of these headaches and we are able to provide relief to those who suffer from these conditions.
Chiropractic restores normal function to the spine. This allows the bone and the muscles of the neck to move in harmony. Only when there is proper function of the neck, will you experience relief from the pain and discomfort.
