Got a headache? You might be surprised by its source. A large number of so-called tension headaches are actually cervicogenic. This means that they start in the spine rather than in the head. This can be caused by misalignments of the neck, an imbalance where the head (remember, an adult head weighs 8 to 10 pounds) meets the neck or by muscular tension.

Chiropractic care can relieve the root cause of these "cervicogenic" headaches, rather than just popping pills and waiting for them to go away, as many of us do. These therapies are science-based and proven to reduce your dependence on drugs and reduce headache frequency.

The intense pain - which is symptomatic of a bigger issue - is only masked with pharmaceuticals.

Addressing the root of the issue is the only way to obtain long term relief. Chiropractors utilizes the Atlas Orthogonal, and other such techniques, in a patient's tailor made approach plan in order to correct the balance in the upper back and neck region and remove the pressure that resulted in one's pain.

The goal of this practice is to bring balanced health to the body as a whole, so techniques are available to attend multiple conditions including digestive issues and back pain. Symptoms are signs that a more serious problem underlies the discomfort, and in order for a person to be as healthy as they can be, it should be addressed directly.

People with chronic headaches could greatly benefit from the drug free and non-surgical approaches of chiropractic medicine. The doctor will also provide suggestions on how an individual may minimize their chances of a recurrence.

Headaches can be debilitating or even disabling - so stop powering through them or wasting time in a dark room with pills and find out how a chiropractor can relieve the underlying cause and reduce or eliminate your symptoms.
