Head Ache

Headaches

Acetaminophen? Ibuprofen? Aspirin?
Anything to get rid of a headache! These readily available and heavily advertised remedies may work temporarily, but many individuals seeking relief soon realize that they are not a long-term fix.
9 out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches.
It is no wonder that headache is the number two reason people seek chiropractic treatment!
And for good reason.

Headache Triggers

95 % of headaches are Primary Headaches, which means the headache IS the problem.
Primary headaches have triggers such as low blood sugar, environmental stresses, food, insomnia and certain stimuli.
Muscle tension is a primary contributing factor in Primary Headaches. Americans today are more sedentary than any time in history and spend more time in fixed positions (such as time in front of a computer.) Fixed positions and lack of movements can cause joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck and upper back.

Trigger plus tension equals headaches.

These primary headaches can be frequent, occasional, dull, pounding or painful to the degree of creating nausea and vomiting.

Accidents

Headaches can also be caused by a head injury, jolting the neck and spine, such as whiplash from a car accident.
