Headaches and Migraine are a common problem to experience, but they are not normal. This has resulted in a huge market for medicines which treat the symptoms of headache but do not correct the underlying causes of headaches. Most medications used for headaches numb your nervous system so the pain doesn’t register. Medication may be a convenient, short term solution to a headache, but long term use can have adverse side effects including kidney or liver damage.
There are many types and causes of headaches. Headaches can be caused by dysfunction in the joints of the neck. This can affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to the head. Chiropractors locate areas of the spine which aren’t moving properly. Regular chiropractic adjustments help to normalise spinal function, restore spinal curves, reduce nerve irritation and allow you to function to your best.
