Many Walnut Creek Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Lyndon Zerna


A headache can stop you in your tracks. Headache sufferers become sensitive to light and sound and in some cases suffer from nausea. People who endure recurring headaches know the condition is negatively affecting the quality of their lives. How wonderful that there is a Walnut Creek chiropractor who can help them find immediate relief.

Chiropractors have known for many years that misalignment of the upper cervical spine can cause headaches. In most cases, realignment of the spine results in quick relief. Taking over the counter pain relievers may offer temporary relief but does not address what actually is causing the pain.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a disconnect between medical doctors and chiropractors. Medical doctors will prescribe drugs to relieve the pain, but seem at a loss at how to address the cause. Chiropractic care goes to the root of the problem, and it does so without addictive prescription drugs.

A group of medical doctors did a study in 1995 and found that headaches are frequently caused by cervical spine misalignment. The doctor who spear headed the study noted that chiropractors had long been aware of a connection between headaches and the misalignment of the neck. Physician bias against the chiropractic profession often results in prolonged patient suffering.

Whatever the consensus opinion of medical doctors is, it should not stop headache sufferers from seeking relief through chiropractic care. The American Chiropractic Association put out a press release stating that ninety percent of Americans have headaches. This is an extremely common problem, but there is help available.

Some chiropractors have chosen to focus their practice exclusively on the upper cervical spine. Misalignment of the neck occurs frequently due to the incredible range of motion in neck. It is reassuring to know that headaches usually are not symptomatic of underlying disease. If there is no disease, fixing the misalignment frequently fixes the problem. Sufferers can return to a state of wellness.
