Peabody, MA Headache Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care

By Donna Beley


People can be affected by many types of headaches. Those caused by tension may be due to working at a desk for eight hours a day. The origin of migraines is still not fully understood. People find help at Peabody Chiropractic to alleviate the pain in a drug-free manner.

A tension headache can be experienced as a tight feeling or a dull ache behind the eyes. The cause may be a misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and upper back. A series of manual adjustments work to correct this condition. When pressure is lifted, pain will be reduced.

The small bones, called vertebrae, contain the delicate spinal cord. Chiropractic adjustments can realign them and relieve the pressure. They can be misaligned as the result of an accident, a car crash for example.

Headaches may be short-lived, but frequent. Alternatively, one might last for days. They also differ in origin and intensity.

The chiropractor will do a thorough evaluation of the individual with headache pain. A lengthy discussion will ensue regarding foods consumed before the pain started. Certain foods are noted for triggering headaches, especially migraines.

It starts when there is a constriction of blood vessels in the brain. That is followed by a rapid dilation of those blood vessels. Although researchers find the rapid dilation to cause the migraine, they are uncertain about what causes the original constriction.

The spine will be examined, both visually and by palpating it. An x-ray of the neck is commonly used to aid the evaluation. When that, and a health history is completed, a plan for care can be formulated.

A series of spinal adjustments are proven to alleviate the pain in both types. Professional advice will be given regarding the foods to avoid. Some examples are cheese and any meat that contains nitrites.

Clients find that after the series of adjustments are completed, the headaches are not likely to return any time in the near future. Most elect to have follow-up care at intervals. This can maintain the cervical spine in the correctly aligned position.
