The impact of headaches can permeate every part of your life. Dr. William Seieroe and Dr. Y.B. Barrat at Northside Chiropractic Center work passionately to ensure residents in and around North Muskegon, MI, put a stop to their pain and live a more fulfilling life.
Headache Pain and Chiropractic Care
When headache pain sneaks into your day, it can be hard to ignore. The solution is often to reach for an OTC pain reliever, but these tend to only offer a few minutes to a few hours of relief.
Unfortunately, people rely on these pain relievers for so long that they begin to lose their effectiveness. The result is typically taking more, which can lead to trouble with the organs, or relying on something heavier. However, you don’t have to resort to either. Dr. Seieroe, Dr. Barrat, and the team at Northside Chiropractic Center in North Muskegon, MI, explain below the role chiropractic care can play in naturally relieving headaches.
The Root Causes of Headaches
A headache is the symptom of an issue. It could be the symptoms of stress, a bad night’s sleep, a loud environment, or something similar. When due to such an issue, your pain will typically dissipate with rest or a break from the source. But if your headache pain is constant or appears several times each week, the underlying issue is normally tied to your musculoskeletal system.
For example, you might have a misaligned vertebra, which puts stress on your muscles, discs, and nerves. As such, you might suffer from chronic tension, which leads to headache pain.
For many people, misalignment, herniated discs, nerve compression, and chronic tension are the source of their misery. These issues are commonly caused by accidents, as well as poor posture, leaning over a device, repetitive lifting, and other unhealthy spinal habits.
Chiropractic Care for Headache Pain
Chiropractic care seeks to uncover and correct the root of your pain. Your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms, when they began, and other factors, and perform a thorough musculoskeletal exam. From there, they will combine techniques such as the following:
- Adjustments and manipulation to correct misalignment
- Chiropractic massage to relieve tension and improve healing in the soft tissues
- Therapeutic exercises to stretch and strengthen troubled areas
- Soft tissue techniques to relieve tension and other issues in deeper layers
