Nerve Irritation is the Leading Cause of Headache Pain for Many Sufferers

June 8th, 2010

Tired of taking medication for headache pain that does not go away?  Find out how many Americans are finding a more permanent solution for tlieir headache pain naturally.
There are an estimated 45 million Americans that suffer from severe, recurring attacks of migraine and tension headaches. They spend upwards of $400 million each year on over-the-counter and prescription drugs, in their search for permanent relief. For some,  the medication works. Unfortunately for many, the relief obtained is temporary at best.  A cycle of headaches and medication often occurs without any lasting relief found.  If you think this describes your pain then there is good news for you.
Recent studies link headache pain to nerve irritation. One study,  conducted at the University of Maryland, found a connection between muscle tension at the base of the neck and headaches. Muscle contractions interfere with the sensitive fibers at the base of the neck that lead to the brain and spinal cord. This muscle tension often plays a contributing factor to headache pain. Another study conducted by Dr. Wright found that the vast majority of migraine headache sufferers had misalignments of the spinal vertebrae in the neck that was placing pressure on the spinal nerves. Our treatment of headache pain is two- fold:
• Remove pressure on the nerves caused by spinal misalignments.
• Reduce tension in neck muscles to minimize nerve pressure due to tight muscles.
This strategy works for many headache sufferers, not only in our office but also in several studies. One such study, conducted by the government of New Zealand, found that the majority of people who suffered from spinal misalignments, had their headaches relieved or their condition improved through chiropractic care. And in follow-up studies of the same patients it was found that many were still without recurring headache pain two years later. Of course, not all headaches’ can be helped with chiropractic care. But, if. you suffer from persistent migraine or , tension headaches you owe it to yourself to come to our office for a no-obligation exam and consultation.  If we can help you we will tell you.  If not we can refer you to another health care professional that can.
