Chiropractic Care For Headaches In Cape Coral

Cited as the top reason people begin chiropractic care, headaches are more common in today’s world than ever before. From poor posture to staring at screens all day to increased consumption of unhealthy foods, it’s no wonder that we all suffer from headaches as often as we do.

While some headaches are an indication of a more serious concern, the majority of your daily minor headaches are generally tension headaches. You probably know that being tense and stress can bring about headaches, but did you know that headaches can be resolved both short-term and long-term with upper cervical chiropractic care?

How Does Chiropractic Help with Headaches?

When we have poor posture, hold tension in our necks and shoulders, or consume a diet high in sugar and other inflammatory ingredients, we experience the consequences. Our spines were created to support our body’s structure and protect our spinal cord, but a number of different things, including those listed above, can impact the integrity of our spine. Misalignments are simply vertebrae that are twisted, turned, or otherwise out of place. They can occur from something as simple as a sneeze or sitting in the same position for an extended period of time. But falls, injuries, illness, and even stress can cause misalignments in the spine as well.

When misalignments are present in the spine, the shifted or twisted vertebrae can impact the nerves around them, causing an interruption in nervous system communication. This results in dysfunction within the body and can bring about a slew of various issues. However, because the neck and cervical spine are so closely connected to the head and brain, misalignments in this area can and will directly impact the function of every process and system within our heads.

Misalignments can easily lead to headaches, whether minor or severe, and our only hope of eradicating headache pain once and for all is to get to the source of the pain. Medication can alleviate the pain temporarily, but it doesn’t correct the source of the problem. Thankfully, chiropractic does. When you receive an upper cervical chiropractic adjustment from Dr. Omar Clark, your body is able to fire off communication and receive messages from the brain more effectively. This restores nerve function and optimizes the function of every system within your body. It can also reduce inflammation, muscle tightness, joint stiffness, and more, many of which contribute to headache pain.
