If you suffer from headaches, you’re not alone. As high as nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches.
What do you do when you have a headache? Do you go into a dark room, lie down and try to take a nap? Do you take medication for it? Maybe just hope it goes away? Well there can be another choice that you might want to try.
Spinal manipulation is shown, through research, to be a very effective way to reduce headaches that are caused from tension or from the neck. A 2001 study at Duke University showed that headaches originating from the neck and tension were almost immediately relieved with spinal manipulation. A study in 1995 in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics showed that the long-lasting effects of adjustments outweighed that of the medical counterpart, the medicine that people were taking to alleviate the headaches. What does that mean for you? It means that there’s a drug-free way you can try to alleviate your headaches if they’re originating from tension in the neck. It’s worth a try!
