If you’re like the millions of Americans who endure daily headaches, from experiencing pounding pain to debilitating migraines, you know full well how these conditions can disrupt daily life. Headaches can make everything from the simplest tasks to performing well at work challenging.
Are you tired of turning to OTC painkillers for relief from your recurring headaches? If yes, consider natural chiropractic care. While medication can, of course, relieve pain, it’s basically a bandage approach that just masks symptoms. Chiropractors like Dr. Siler focus on addressing the root causes of the pain, tailoring treatments to each individual’s needs.
Understanding the Different Types
The two most common types of headaches are tension headaches and migraines. Tension ones typically arise from tight muscles in the neck and upper back, often causing pain on both sides of the head. On the other hand, migraines tend to affect only one side of the head and can be accompanied by additional symptoms like nausea or sensitivity to light.
According to Dr. Siler, “Restoring motion in those joints and working on stretches for those muscles can alleviate headache pain pretty quickly.”
Chiropractic Techniques to Ease Discomfort
For tension headaches, Dr. Siler often uses spinal adjustments to restore proper joint motion, which can reduce muscle tightness and ease discomfort. In addition to adjustments, he may recommend targeted neck stretches to keep muscles loose and prevent tension from building up.
If you’re dealing with migraines, chiropractic care may involve identifying triggers and addressing underlying issues like posture or spinal misalignments. While results often improve with each session, Dr. Siler emphasizes that headache relief typically requires multiple treatments to achieve lasting results.
Offering Lifestyle Guidance
Many headaches are linked to daily habits, such as poor posture or prolonged computer use. In addition to providing chiropractic care, Dr. Siler can also provide guidance on lifestyle changes and exercises to maintain your progress.
