How to Overcome Headaches by Elliott Chiropractic

Did you know that many headaches actually start in the neck? Due to past trauma or bad posture, altered mechanics can compress nerves in the neck and the result is pain felt in the head. These nerves travel to all parts of the head. The part of the head affected depends on which nerve is compressed.

 

Spinal Segment

To correct this problem, the involved spinal segment needs to be identified. A standing x-ray will let the physician know where the faulty segment is located. To fully correct the segment, 4 different treatments will need to be addressed.

  1. Ligaments that hold the spine in securely in place
  2. Restriction release from the spine itself
  3. Disfunction in the muscle
  4. Home exercise progressions to address upper & Lower back

By addressing all 4 components, the spine will be fully functional again. The nerves that flow from the neck will function properly and this correct the problem permanently. Home muscle memory exercises will need to follow to maintain full function of the spine.
