Learn About Available Headache Pain Relief Options With Seattle Chiropractor

By Malinda Klosterman


Often the only thing medicine offers for a headache is pills. For those with chronic headaches, it can seem that they are spending a lot of time popping pills, which may have side effects, and spending a small fortune for temporary relief. In some cases, the trigger for the headache is known - it could be stress, caffeine, insomnia, etc. In others it might seem that the headaches come out of nowhere.

A lot of headaches, in fact the majority, are actually caused by tension in the neck. This can be caused by stress as well as by sitting in the same position for too long, especially with poor posture. This is where a Seattle chiropractor comes in.

Misalignment issues and subluxations can be relieved by a chiropractor and this professional can assist in restoring balance and in alleviating the symptoms of a headache - so that the frequency of these events becomes greatly diminished.

A chiropractor might also prescribe massage therapy to reduce muscle tension in the neck directly, and to decrease the anxiety and stress that might be causing it. They will work with you to improve your posture and teach you exercises and stretches to relieve tension in the neck, increase range of motion and further reduce the incidence of headaches. Some of these techniques even work with stubborn chronic headaches such as migraines and cluster headaches.

A knowledgeable chiropractor can even supply nutritional tips for reducing the frequency of headaches such as by eliminating food triggers.

If you have chronic headaches that are not responding to anything and are tired of popping pills, lying in dark rooms or just trying to function with the pain, then contact a chiropractor for a consultation. They might be able to offer you long term relief for your stubborn headaches and help you to better overall balance and health.
