Get The Permanent Headache Relief Ellenville Chiropractors Have To Offer

By Donna Beley


Headaches are the top health complaint in America, and patients typically turn to painkillers for relief. Pharmaceuticals come with side effects, can become habit-forming, and don't address the underlying problem behind the pain. However, a chiropractor can provide natural, long-lasting headache relief with chiropractic techniques and acupuncture.

With today's technology, it is not uncommon for many employees to sit at their desks staring at computer screens for eight hours a day. This is not good for your neck and other joints. It can lead to severe headaches. Chiropractors use gentle manipulation of the spine to reduce the pain caused by this sort of inactivity.

According to a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapies, chiropractic interventions can significantly mitigate headaches, especially when multiple modalities are incorporated into patients' care plans. A chiropractor may use acupuncture with adjustments to achieve headache relief. This technique involves inserting tiny needles into the skin at specific pressure points. Research shows that many patients who receive acupuncture find long-lasting headache relief.

Headaches may also be caused by certain lifestyle factors, such as eating habits, poor posture, and stress. A chiropractor can provide nutritional advice to help patients avoid food triggers and vitamin deficiencies. Headache-sufferers may also be coached in how to improve posture and avoid repetitive tasks and long periods of sitting or staying in a fixed position, especially on the job.

The American Chiropractic Association provides suggestions for reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches. Staying hydrated and getting plenty of B complex vitamins can keep headaches at bay.

If you have to spend much of your day doing sedentary activities, get up and stretch every 30 minutes to an hour to avoid putting too much strain on your neck. Going beyond mere pain-management, chiropractic provides practical, effective solutions for chronic headaches.
