Peabody, MA Headache Pain Alleviated Naturally With Chiropractic Care Using Spinal Adjustments

By Donna Beley


There are headaches that affect people in different ways. Some are caused by tension from sitting at a computer for eight hours at work. Others are migraines, still idiopathic in origin. At Peabody Chiropractic there is help to alleviate them naturally, without the use of drugs.

A tension headache can be experienced as a tight feeling or a dull ache behind the eyes. The cause may be a misalignment of the vertebrae in the neck and upper back. A series of manual adjustments work to correct this condition. When pressure is lifted, pain will be reduced.

The chiropractic term for a misalignment is subluxation. This occurs when the small bones that make up the spine are out of place. The cause may be an automobile crash, especially a rear-end collision.

Tension headaches may occur frequently, but last only a few hours. A migraine may last for days. They have different causes and symptoms.

First, the chiropractor will assess the condition of the individual. A question and answer discussion will determine if certain foods trigger the headaches. Migraines are noted for being triggered by foods, smells and environmental conditions.

The constriction of blood vessels in the brain, followed by a rapid dilation of those vessels are known to occur before the beginning of a migraine. Apparently the dilation is causative. However, it is not known why the constriction takes place.

The spine will be examined, both visually and by palpating it. An x-ray of the neck is commonly used to aid the evaluation. When that, and a health history is completed, a plan for care can be formulated.

A series of spinal adjustments are proven to alleviate the pain in both types. Professional advice will be given regarding the foods to avoid. Some examples are cheese and any meat that contains nitrites.

Research proves that pain is alleviated by the administration of spinal adjustments. Most clients return periodically to maintain freedom from headaches. Follow-up care at regular intervals can maintain the healthy condition of the spine.
