Peabody, MA Headache Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care Using Spinal Adjustments

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.

The tension headache is described as a dull ache behind the eyes or a tight feeling. These are caused by a subluxation in the neck or upper back. Manual adjustments can successfully correct the subluxation, which works to alleviate the pain.

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.

Tension headaches may occur frequently, but last only a few hours. A migraine may last for days. They have different causes and symptoms.

First, the chiropractor will assess the condition of the individual. A question and answer discussion will determine if certain foods trigger the headaches. Migraines are noted for being triggered by foods, smells and environmental conditions.

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 physical part of the exam will look at the spine. Often an x-ray is taken to aid in the assessment. After the complete health history is taken, the plan will be made for care to relieve the pain.

The chiropractor performs a series of spinal adjustment to reduce the pain of both types of headaches. Professional advice regarding foods that may be triggers is given. Chocolates, cheeses and any meats containing nitrites are suspect.

Research proves that pain is alleviated by the administration of spinal adjustments. Most clients return periodically to maintain freedom from headaches. Follow-up care at regular intervals can maintain the healthy condition of the spine.
