I Have Headaches! What Can I Do?

Headaches seem to be an ever occurring problem with a large number of people. First let's just start and stay headaches are not a normal thing. Many people pass off headaches like it's not a big deal, the problem is headaches could be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to other issues. There are many different types of headaches and many different cause. The causes range from hormone imbalance to high blood pressure. For our sake we will be talking about cervicogenic headaches because it fits our audience perfectly. Cervicogenic headaches are a very common type of headache which arises from the cervical spine in origin. Cervicogenic headaches can arise from irritated facets, tight muscles, sore joint, and nerve impingement.

The pain from these headaches can be mild to severe, they can last from a few minutes to hours, day, or weeks on end. They can come on gradually or happen spontaneously and they can leave the same way with treatment. There is one common theme though, if you have headaches arising from your cervical spine you definitely a cervical spine problem. Pain and other symptoms are the last thing to show up when there is cervical dysfunction, the good thing is they are also the first thing to go away. The important thing is that chiropractic treatment can help with the headaches from the above mentioned symptoms.  After the headaches are gone it's very important to correct the spinal dysfunction that caused the symptoms and then usher to wellness care to make sure the cervical dysfunction can be quelled as needed.
