Migraines & Headaches

June 21st, 2010

People spend billions on aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen (TylenoI™) per year. These drugs, apart from their many side effects, treat the pain while ignoring the cause of the headache. What is the chiropractic approach?

What Puts The “Ache” In Headache?

Surprisingly, a headache is not a “brainache.” The brain, most of its membranes and the skull feel no pain at all. That is why during brain surgery patients can be wide awake, even talking to the doctors while their brains are being cut, probed or otherwise tampered with (local anesthetic is used to numb the scalp). But when the pain-sensitive parts– the arteries of the brain and skull, the dura mater that covers the brain and the cranial nerves-are infected, pulled, inflamed, stretched, compressed or irritated, headaches usually result.

Chiropractic & Headaches

For over a hundred years headache sufferers have benefited from the drug-free, natural methods used by their neighborhood chiropractors. By eliminating spinal subluxations, chiropractic permits the entire body to restore itself to a greater level of health and wholeness– in effect, to heal itself. Chiropractic spinal care is essential for anyone who suffers from headaches.
