Peabody, MA Headache Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care

By Donna Beley


People can be affected by many types of headaches. Those caused by tension may be due to working at a desk for eight hours a day. The origin of migraines is still not fully understood. People find help at Peabody Chiropractic to alleviate the pain in a drug-free manner.

The tension headache is described as a dull ache behind the eyes or a tight feeling. These are caused by a subluxation in the neck or upper back. Manual adjustments can successfully correct the subluxation, which works to alleviate the pain.

The small bones, called vertebrae, contain the delicate spinal cord. Chiropractic adjustments can realign them and relieve the pressure. They can be misaligned as the result of an accident, a car crash for example.

Tension headaches may occur frequently, but last only a few hours. A migraine may last for days. They have different causes and symptoms.

The first contact with the chiropractor will include a thorough evaluation. A discussion about food and drink might reveal what triggered the headache. Certain foods, smells and household cleaning products are known to trigger a migraine.

It starts when there is a constriction of blood vessels in the brain. That is followed by a rapid dilation of those blood vessels. Although researchers find the rapid dilation to cause the migraine, they are uncertain about what causes the original constriction.

A physical exam is done of the entire spine. Often an x-ray is needed to assist in the evaluation. A health history is completed and then a course of care is planned.

Spinal adjustments are proven to help both migraine and tension headaches. Professional advice is given on foods to avoid. These include cheese and any meat containing nitrites.

Clients find that after the series of adjustments are completed, the headaches are not likely to return any time in the near future. Most elect to have follow-up care at intervals. This can maintain the cervical spine in the correctly aligned position.
