Peabody, MA Headache Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care Involving Gentle Adjustments Of The Spine

By Donna Beley


People can be affected by many types of headaches. Those caused by tension may be due to working at a desk for eight hours a day. The origin of migraines is still not fully understood. People find help at Peabody Chiropractic to alleviate the pain in a drug-free manner.

A tension headache can be experienced as a tight feeling or a dull ache behind the eyes. The cause may be a misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and upper back. A series of manual adjustments work to correct this condition. When pressure is lifted, pain will be reduced.

The small bones, called vertebrae, contain the delicate spinal cord. Chiropractic adjustments can realign them and relieve the pressure. They can be misaligned as the result of an accident, a car crash for example.

Headaches may be short-lived, but frequent. Alternatively, one might last for days. They also differ in origin and intensity.

First, the chiropractor will assess the condition of the individual. A question and answer discussion will determine if certain foods trigger the headaches. Migraines are noted for being triggered by foods, smells and environmental conditions.

The constriction of blood vessels in the brain, followed by a rapid dilation of those vessels are known to occur before the beginning of a migraine. Apparently the dilation is causative. However, it is not known why the constriction takes place.

The spine will be examined, both visually and by palpating it. An x-ray of the neck is commonly used to aid the evaluation. When that, and a health history is completed, a plan for care can be formulated.

The chiropractor performs a series of spinal adjustment to reduce the pain of both types of headaches. Professional advice regarding foods that may be triggers is given. Chocolates, cheeses and any meats containing nitrites are suspect.

Clients find that after the series of adjustments are completed, the headaches are not likely to return any time in the near future. Most elect to have follow-up care at intervals. This can maintain the cervical spine in the correctly aligned position.
