Headaches Relief In Woodbury

Headaches are common in Woodbury, but they're not normal.

There are two general categories: acute and recurring. The acute headache is usually secondary to a severe illness or injury, so it starts with that problem and disappears when the illness is overcome or the injury is healed. On the other hand, a person in Woodbury that suffers recurring headaches usually is unaware of any illness or injury, they are aware of only the headache and sometimes that can be a tremendous problem in itself, especially when dealing with a migraine condition or a serious sinus, tension or allergic headaches. Incidentally, the migraine headache is like any other headache, which is a sign or symptom of a physical disorder. A typical migraine is associated with a number of other symptoms and is commonly preceded with warning signs, such as visual or sensory disturbances, up to 30 minutes before the onset of the actual headache.

Hidden Cause of Headaches in Woodbury

A common cause of headaches is from spinal bones in the neck that aren’t supporting the head properly. You might not notice your reduced ability to turn your head. But these vertebral subluxation complexes affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head.

Both chiropractic and medical research, have determined that the most common cause of headaches is the interference with the nerve and blood supply to and from the brain, due to spinal nerve irritation in the neck.

Our thorough examination detects vertebral subluxation complex patterns that could be causing your headaches. If vertebral subluxation complexes are present, you’re likely to benefit from chiropractic care.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the spine the source of all headaches?

Not necessarily. The three most common causes are physical trauma, emotional stress or chemical toxins. Sometimes there may be a combination of factors. Our examination process helps identify the most likely cause.

What causes subluxations?

There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes could include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions, and improper lifting. Emotions, such as stress, anger and fear can cause of subluxations. Chemical causes could include alcohol, drugs, preservatives, pollution and poor diet.

I was told it was “all in my head.” Now what?

The pain you feel is real. And psychological sources of pain are common. However, this “diagnosis” is often the last resort of health practitioners who have exhausted their possible explanations of the cause of your problem. In these cases, we’ve often found that undetected subluxations are likely culprits.

How many visits will it take?

Some Woodbury patients enjoy results quickly. Others notice a slow decline in their symptoms after several weeks or longer of chiropractic care. It’s impossible to predict. If you’ve had chronic headaches for many years, improvement can take time. We monitor your progress and modify our recommendations as needed.

What if chiropractic care doesn’t help?

If we’re unable to find and correct the cause of your particular health problem, we will refer to other experts who may be able to help. Your health and your satisfaction are our only goal.

How come my medical doctor didn’t suggest chiropractic?

That’s changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. Attitudes are slow to change. However, as the public demands alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring to chiropractic doctors.
