By Donna Beley


There are many different types of headaches that individuals suffer from. Some are due to tension. For example, from working at a computer each day. Others are migraines, a severe type that causes severe pain and nausea. There is help available at Peabody Chiropractic, that does not require the use of medication.

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.

Subluxation is a chiropractic term for a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae. These are the small, hollow bones that comprise the spinal column. They can be misaligned in a variety of ways, including an automobile crash.

Headaches can last for hours, or in the case of the migraine, for days. The also have different symptoms. The beginning of a migraine is often signaled by seeing an aura, or bright light display.

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.

A migraine is started by a constriction of blood vessels, followed by a dilation of the same blood vessels. They are the ones located in the brain. Though it is known that the rapid dilation causes the migraine, it is not known why the constriction occurs.

The physical part of the exam will look at the spine. Often an x-ray is taken to aid in the assessment. After the complete health history is taken, the plan will be made for care to relieve the pain.

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.

Clients find that after the series of adjustments are completed, the headaches are not likely to return any time in the near future. Most elect to have follow-up care at intervals. This can maintain the cervical spine in the correctly aligned position.
