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.

Most headaches are the result of excess tension in the neck. These can also be caused by poor posture, stress and maintaining the same position for an extended period of time. This is when a reputable Seattle chiropractor may be able to help.

A chiropractor can relieve subluxations and misalignments in the neck, restoring balance and relieving the headache symptoms - significantly reducing the frequency of headaches in chronic sufferers.

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 good chiropractor may also be able to give advice on nutrition to reduce headaches and help locate and eliminate 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.
