Chiropractic and Headaches
Many people who suffer needlessly from headaches turn to chiropractic care for help and to improve their quality of life.
What is Chiropractic?
- Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and self-regulating, directed by the nervous system.
- The nervous system is the body’s communication system, carrying messages between the brain and every muscle, organ, and tissue.
- The spine protects these nerves, and when spinal bones lose proper alignment or motion, they can interfere with nerve communication.
- This interference is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can disrupt how the body functions, adapts, and heals—often before pain is felt.
- Chiropractors locate, analyze, and adjust vertebral subluxations to reduce nerve interference and restore clearer brain-body communication.
- When communication improves, function improves, allowing the body to express health and life more fully.
How can Chiropractic help people with headaches?
- By locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, chiropractors help reduce or remove interference within the nervous system.
- When interference to the nervous system is reduced, communication between the brain and the body can function more clearly and efficiently.
- When brain-body communication improves, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal.
What are some of the other benefits of chiropractic care?
- Greater capacity to handle life’s demands
- Improved adaptability and resilience
- Optimized whole body function
- Greater vitality and energy
- Unlocking your life potential
What does the research say?
- According to a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and severity of tension headaches by 49%.
- Another study published in the Journal of Headache and Pain found that chiropractic adjustments were effective in reducing the intensity and frequency of migraines in 75% of patients.
- Additionally, multiple case studies in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research showed chiropractic care is effective in reducing headache symptoms in people of all ages.
- A survey conducted by the American Chiropractic Association found that 80% of respondents reported improvement in their headache symptoms after receiving chiropractic care.
It is important to note:
- Not all headaches are caused by vertebral subluxations in the spine.
- Chiropractic care may not be effective for all types of headaches.
- However, the overwhelming majority of people who receive chiropractic care have seen significant improvement.
