Many people suffer with pain symptoms in the form of headaches. Recent studies show that chiropractic is highly successful in alleviating many
80 patients with chronic cervicogenic headaches took part in this study. They received either chiropractic adjustments or light massage.
The patients that received the chiropractic care improved substantially more than those that receive massage. The chiropractic patients not only have better scores on pain and disability tests, they also experienced a 50% reduction in overall symptoms. They also had a 33% reduction in medication usage by the end of the study.
The reason why chiropractic has such high success in helping patients suffering with headaches is in the goal of correcting the cause. Chiropractic restores the normal flexibility and function of the spine to relieve cervicogenic head pain. By aligning the spine, chiropractors remove the pressure from the nerves causing the pain. If you suffer from headaches, chiropractic can be a safe and effective way to treat pain and improve your health.
