Headaches can be devastating for people, especially when they become chronic. Many people do not realize they can find relief from their pain by seeking treatment from the Woodburn chiropractic clinic. These treatments seek to correct the root problem of headaches so they can be overcome as quickly as possible.

Understanding the Common Cause of Chronic Headaches

One of the most common reasons for chronic headache development is subluxations of the cervical spine. When the neck vertebrae come out of their natural alignment, they can place undue pressure on the surrounding soft tissues, including the nerves, Nerve compression can cause tension headaches and sometimes migraines. If a person is suffering from chronic headaches, they need to seek treatment right away.

What to Expect From Chiropractic Treatment

When individuals come in for chiropractic treatment, they first give a detailed health history and discuss their symptoms with the doctor. The chiropractor will perform a thorough examination that includes some tests, depending on the type of headache the patient is experiencing.

The muscles of the neck will need to be relaxed before the chiropractic adjustment. This is accomplished using heat and massage. Once the muscles are relaxed, the individual will undergo a manual adjustment of their spine. This treatment moves the vertebrae back into their normal positions so there is no longer pressure on the nerve tissues and pain can be reduced or even eliminated.

Will Individuals Need Ongoing Treatments?

While some headaches can be treated with only a couple of adjustments, some may need ongoing treatment, especially in the beginning. The individual will be given exercises to perform at home so they can continue their therapy between visits.

Most people are able to experience relief with ongoing treatments. As the supportive structures of the neck become stronger, the chronic headaches begin to greatly diminish and sometimes go away permanently. The Woodburn chiropractic clinic can help people experience relief.

Call for an Appointment

Dealing with chronic headaches can be exhaustive. Instead of reaching for a prescription or over-the-counter pain medication, it is important to seek natural chiropractic care. These treatments are non-invasive and can even help to improve a person's overall health.
