Chiropractic Treatment of Headaches
Chiropractic is effective in treating headaches which arise from the neck. These headaches are surprisingly common and there are many muscles and structures in the neck which can refer pain to the head and result in frequent headaches.
A review of the research literature by Bryans et al (2011) found that chiropractic care is effective in treating migraines and headaches arising from the neck.
Chiropractic care aims to improve facet joint function, restore normal muscle activity and correct postural problems associated with desk based work.
Advice on ergonomic setup, continuing postural improvement and lifestyle changes are an important addition to this approach.
Chiropractic care has proven to be one of the most important non drug related approaches to headache management and it is logical that addressing the underlying cause and not just symptomatic management will have better long term outcomes.
