When a Headache is not just a Headache says Springfield Chiro

By

Headaches can tend to be very annoying, but a quarter of headaches actually come from the cervical spine. Here at Springfield Chiropractic, we are here to help with those who suffer from headaches.

Chiropractic care has been proved to be very effective in relieving cervical spine headaches. This manipulation combined with other manipulations done to relieve this have been proved to relieve headaches and even help to prevent future ones.

These headaches are thought to be caused by the convergence of neurons arriving from the cervical spine and trigeminal nerve. This is located in the trigeminocervicsl nucleus which is located at the top of the upper cervical cord of the spine. The exact cause of these headaches continues to be up for debate.

The convergence of neurons means that the pain between the head and neck is direct. Some other theories have provided insight to the cause of these headaches, and other research continues to be done to fully understand the causes.

Although the search is continual, relieving the pain is the most important part. Once diagnosed, treatment is pretty easy.

After examining you and identifying the problem, Springfield chiropractic can do each of the following:

1. Correct your posture and or repetitive actions you may be doing to your back/head
2. Treatment with chiropractic manipulation and myofascial release to relieve pain and decrease symptoms.
3. Give you some exercises that can be done at home to promote better posture, reduce weakened tissues, and help you find strength and balance.

Along with treatment, it is vital to understand and follow your plan to keep the pain away. We take pride in helping you stay out of pain and return back to your normal life. This is why it is important to understand and be educated about the treatment process.
