When people come into the practice with headache complaints, we let them know that just because they’re common, it doesn’t make them normal. Pain is the body’s way of saying maybe there’s some dysfunction going on, so we look a little deeper; the problem may originate from anywhere in the cervical spine.
When people come in with headaches, Dr. Zac does a full exam and consult, as he does with every patient. He may decide to take a cervical X-ray to see what’s going on there, but we still do a full spine workup to check for any other dysfunction.
We’ll do some manual cervical adjusting and ultrasound on the neck, and may add trigger point therapy on the suboccipital muscles, and the supportive ligaments and muscles around the neck. Rehabilitative exercises and strengthening are also helpful.
Lifestyle adjustments in your working environment, sleeping patterns, and stress-inducing activities may also help. Be more aware of what you consume—are you drinking a lot of soda, is your water intake good? Drinking a lot of caffeine or eating a bunch of processed foods and sugars? Does the frequency of headaches vary based on hormonal cycles? Just paying more attention to potential triggers may decrease the frequency.
The 479 Chiropractic & Wellness team is here to help you find the cause of your head pain and correct it. Book an appointment today.
