Headaches
A 2014 report in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics highlighted the positive impact of chiropractic care on acute and chronic neck pain. Another study in 2011 found that chiropractic treatments, including spinal manipulation, can improve migraine and cervicogenic headaches. Headaches have various triggers, including foods, environmental stimuli, and certain behaviors. While 5 percent of headaches signal physical problems, the remaining 95 percent, like tension or migraine headaches, are primary concerns not caused by disease. Most primary headaches are linked to muscle tension in the neck, a prevalent issue as our sedentary lifestyles and prolonged fixed positions contribute to neck, upper back, and scalp muscle tension, leading to headaches.
