FROM THE DOCTOR According to an article published in “Harvard Health Magazine”, 90% of men and 95% of women experience at least one headache every year. Chances are, you’re among those who have recently had a headache. Most headaches aren’t serious and typically don’t last long. Understanding the cause and identifying the specific type of your headache can help eliminate the associated pain. Research shows that spinal manipulation—a primary treatment from a Doctor of Chiropractic—effectively treats tension headaches and headaches originating in the neck. In 2014, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) reported that chiropractic care interventions improved outcomes for acute and chronic neck pain. It noted increased benefits in several multimodal approach cases. A 2011 JMPT study found that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, can improve migraine and cervicogenic headaches. Chiropractors undergo extensive training to assist patients beyond back pain treatment. They understand the impact of tension in the spine and neck on other body parts. Headaches are either primary or secondary. Primary headaches frequently occur and are not caused by underlying conditions. In contrast, secondary headaches result from another condition and typically occur as a consequence rather than a direct trigger. The team at South Orange Chiropractic can help reduce some of your headaches. Our thermal diagnostics and imaging evaluation can determine if you have a chiropractic case.
