Headaches

Headaches are mostly ‘cervicogenic’ in nature, which means that they come from pressure on the nerves coming from the neck.

Nearly 50% of the population suffer from headaches of some form. Some of these headaches can be very debilitating and affect your focus or concentration, or impact the ability to do the things you want to do. 

Migraines are the worst kind of headache, which can cause you to seek a dark room, have nausea, or even vomit for days at a time. The pain can be so severe at times that it can cause interference with your daily activities.

There are many things that you can do at home in between chiropractic appointments that may help with headaches or migraines, including:

  • Maintain good posture to help ease the pressure on your neck,
  • If headaches are triggered by bright lights, resting in a dark room may help to relieve symptoms,
  • Ice may help with inflammation, while heat may help relax stiff or tight muscles.

Poor alignment causes muscles to not work properly, which further puts pressure on vital nerves coming out of the neck. Chiropractic care is designed to correct those misalignments of the spine called subluxations. Subluxations can occur from physical, emotional or chemical stress. 

It is important not to ignore headaches or migraines because the condition may get worse over time. Repeated movements, such as heavy lifting or even spending hours in the same office chair, can strain muscles and tissues in your neck, complicating headaches further.

Here at Elevation Health, we use advanced postural and digital x-ray analysis to first be certain of the cause of your problem, and then use state of the art adjusting and a spinal remodeling program to correct those causes without drugs or invasive surgery.

Whether you are here in Windsor/Tecumseh or anywhere else in Essex County, dysfunction in your musculoskeletal system does not discriminate. Anyone can benefit from the healing attributes of chiropractic care in order to provide relief from any form of discomfort that one undergoes when they have a misaligned spine, back, or neck.
