Headache Relief from Chiropractic Care

Headache Relief with Chiropractic CareHeadaches can be severe, come on without warning and can have a significant impact on your daily life. They can be caused by many different things including diet, stress, hunger, changes in sleep patterns, hormones, tension in your body, exposure to bright light and even the glare from a computer screen or your smartphone. Finding relief for your headache can be as difficult as determining the exact cause. Many people rely on over the counter pain medication that simply mask the headache, without actually addressing the cause. One highly effective alternative to pain medication is to find headache relief from chiropractic care. The team at St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center can help you manage the pain and get rid of your headaches and migraines without having to rely on medicine.

How Does Chiropractic Care Help Headaches?

Chiropractic treatment for headaches can include spinal manipulation, massage and exercises for your neck that can offer significant improvement in headache symptoms.

Chiropractic care reduces overall stress and tension in your entire body, which ultimately can relieve your headaches and promotes healing in your body. In addition, with chiropractic care, you are less likely to have to deal with the issue of rebound headaches, which can occur after a medication that you have taken wears off. Chiropractic treatment is a natural way to treat headaches and this can be of great benefit.

One extremely painful type of headache is a migraine. Migraines are characterized by severe pain, throbbing, or pulsing very often on one side of your head. In addition to headache symptoms, migraines also can come with nausea, vomiting, and light and sound sensitivity, requiring an individual to miss work or school until the symptoms subside. Chiropractic care can also help lessen the symptoms of migraines.
