Neck Pain and Headaches:

Headaches are one of the most common reasons people come to the chiropractor.  They want the pain relief fast!  This has produced a huge market for medications that cover-up or mask the headache symptoms.  They do this by numbing your nervous system so the pain does not register.  Although convenient, drugs do not correct the cause of the headache and they can have adverse side-effects, especially on the kidneys and liver. 

There are many causes of headaches.  Most come from the neck, shoulders and upper back.  When the spinal bones which support your head are not working properly they can affect the nerves, muscles and other structures in that area.  This is generally due to stress:  physical trauma, emotional, nutritional, or chemical stress.

A Chiropractic exam will locate the areas of the spine that are not working properly.  Chiropractic care will consist of adjustments and other techniques to restore proper spinal function.  If your headaches are not spine related we can refer to other specialists that may be able to help. 

Your health is our goal.
