 Headaches are so common that almost everyone takes the odd one now and again for granted, but you may be suffering more than you can cope with. Did you know that chiropractors treat many of the causes of headaches ?
Too much tension
Chiropractic may help to relieve tightness in your neck muscles due to stress and tension in your neck, shoulders and back. Treatment may:
•reduce tension headaches - band-like pains at the back and front of your head •improve the function of the jaw - grinding teeth causes muscle tension and may be a major factor in chronic headaches •include sensible advice on how to cut down the stress in your life
Chiropractic - not just for backs
Unlike painkilling drugs, chiropractic treats the cause of pain, not just the pain itself. Your BCA chiropractor will carry out a full examination (including X-rays if necessary), and ask you detailed questions about your medical history and lifestyle, to discover the cause of your headaches. You may also be given massage or advice on exercise and posture, and changes you can make to your lifestyle, to help prevent headaches from occurring in the future.
