Plainfield, IL Chiropractor - Chiropractor in Plainfield, IL
In this article, I will be discussing a common health problem that we treat in our office--that is, headaches. We provide headache relief naturally for both adults and children. We treat everything from the simple tension headache all the way to a full blown migraine headache.
So, what causes headaches? The most common causes of headaches are physical trauma, emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies, or chemical toxins. Headaches can be a result of one or more of these factors. Our detailed case history and examination can determine the likely cause of your headaches.
In our exam, we typically find areas of the spine that have lost their normal movement and are causing nerve irritation and pain. This is a common source of not only headaches, but also neck pain that often accompanies headaches.
We have a variety of effective methods to correct this problem, including a very gentle, low-force chiropractic adjustment called the Activator Technique. Other treatments may include the traditional manual chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue massage, and contract-relax stretches. We also utilize acupuncture or acupressure as an effective treatment for headaches.
We also have a nutritional protocol that helps us to determine any nutritional causes of your headaches. We may suggest the elimination of a specific food that my be a headache trigger, or the addition of a specific nutrient like Magnesium, that may help aid in your body's healing.
If you experience headaches, it is worth scheduling a consultation to see if we are a good fit for your needs. In an upcoming article, I will be discussing other health topics and answering some frequently asked questions, so stay tuned!
