Headaches can be painful, even debilitating. It is estimated that 90% of those living in the US suffer from headaches at one time or another. So if you experience a headache, you are far from alone. Really, the issue extends around the globe.
Studies continue to show that many headaches actually stem from problems in the neck. One report mentioned in Canadian news sources found that the majority of people did not realize that the two were connected. Let’s look at how they are related and what can be done to help ease the pain you may be experiencing.
Seeking a Headache Alternative to Pain Medication
It has become common for most to seek advice from a medical doctor and receive a prescription to help deal with pain. While this may help for a while, upper cervical care can aid in resolving the cause of the problem in a natural way. This puts long-term results within reach instead of just symptomatic treatment. Because of this, the trend in healthcare is beginning to change. Many are now looking to upper cervical chiropractic care to help resolve the issues they are facing.
Due to an increased amount of research showing direct links between the neck and headaches, many have turned to chiropractic care to find a natural solution to their condition. Particularly effective is upper cervical chiropractic care. The reason for this is because of how specialized this type of treatment is. It focuses on the upper regions of the neck, the top two vertebrae. Through precise measurements and gentle realignment, the vertebrae can be coaxed back into their proper positions. Once in place, normal function and healing can occur. Blood flow and oxygen can flow properly and communication pathways between the brain and body resume.
