Expert Chiropractic Care

If you deal with migraines on a regular basis, you know how debilitating they can be. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, about 12 percent of Americans suffer from migraines. These headaches typically cause an intense, throbbing pain on one side of the head, in addition to sensitivity to light and sound. Some folks deal with nausea as well.

Let’s first consider the root cause of headaches. Much of the time, muscle tightness in the neck region can spur headaches. Neck tightness, on the other hand, is typically associated with “tension headaches,” or ones that originate in the cervical region.

On occasion, headaches can be triggered by factors such as food, noise, stress and diet, to name a few. We’re also prone to headaches when we sit or lay in the same position for long amounts of time, exercise at a high intensity, or when our bodies undergo a drastic change in blood glucose levels. Keep in mind that daily sugar intake can be a major contributing factor when it comes to headaches, as can too much caffeine.

It’s been proven that chiropractic adjustments can serve as a healthy, natural remedy for migraines and headaches. When you come to Moramarco Chiropractic in Woburn, you can expect that your headache treatment will likely include the following:

• Spinal manipulations to improve function
• Nutritional advice or referral to a nutritional counselor for an analysis of dietary changes that may help.
• Certain B vitamins have been known to provide relief for those with regular headaches.
• Postural advice, including advice on ergonomics, exercises and relaxation. Ideally, our back pain specialists will relieve join irritation and tension in the upper back and neck to help reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches.
