By Bertulda Zerna


Headaches are the number one health problem in America. We all get them occasionally.

There are individuals who get headaches often. Conventional medicine proposes using painkillers and taking adequate water to reduce dehydration. Tension is another main culprit that causes headaches.

The root cause of these aches is not present in the head itself. The neck area could be a possible cause. Muscle tension or misalignment in your neck causes tension headaches.

If these headaches recur, it is an indication of a problem present in your neck. Tension headaches usually last for few minutes and up to several days in some instances. It is characterized by a mild pressure to moderate when severe.

Popping pills is not only not fixing the problem but can, in some cases, make it worse with so called "rebound" headaches. This means that when the painkiller wears off, the headache comes back worse.

Setting an appointment with a chiropractor helps in identifying whether your headache is caused by issues in your neck, cervicogenic, or not. If the professional identifies the neck as the culprit, you will have the issue in your neck or spine sorted out. Exercises, stretches and chiropractic adjustments help in eradicating the problem fully.

Poor ergonomics and posture are the main causes of cervicogenic headaches. In cases that are extreme, some people need to undergo surgery. A chiropractor can help such patients avoid the surgery as it comes with various potential risks and the recovery period is long.

Acupuncture form another important solution for headaches that include migraines and cluster. A number of clinics utilize both these therapies after they find the root causes. Chiropractors are well versed with nutrition facts and understand the foods that are likely to trigger the migraines like chocolates, aspartame and caffeine.

These therapies reduce dependence on painkillers and help people return to a pain free life. With acupuncture, you can also get relief from headaches caused by sinus issues or high blood pressure.

Drinking water regularly and doing neck stretches is highly advocated for by the American Chiropractic Association in the prevention of headaches. There are some people who supplement their vitamin B but you should consult a chiropractor or acupuncturist as it is a solution that is free from drug use. These two methods are great for pregnant women to use as they have no side effects and are safer.

If you have chronic headaches, then you should consider talking to a chiropractor to see if they are being caused by a misalignment or disc problem in your neck. Our necks have a lot of strain placed on them, especially when we sit in front of a computer for hours on end. A good chiropractor can fix headaches as well as lower back problems, and help restore range of motion in the neck that may be compromised. Add in acupuncture and you can say goodbye to the headaches... And the pills.
