Pasco County Migraine Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Katy Parfait


Headaches are some of the most common maladies mankind suffers with, in the Twenty First Century. The pain can sometimes be a minor inconvenience or may be severe and keep you from enjoying even the simplest of things in life. With the help of Pasco County chiropractic care, your headache problems may fade away and become only memories.

Migraines may be caused by problems in the cervical or upper spine (the neck). For instance, it may be difficult to turn your head from side to side and this is usually a sign of neck problems. If your neck does not rotate without hesitation or pain, tendons and muscles may be tightened and this can create muscles spasms and headaches.

If you overwork the muscles in the shoulders, neck, and upper back, it can cause a tightness and uneasiness. Constant stress on these muscles can put a strain on your spine and this may cause the spine to become out of alignment. This can affect nerves which serve the head and can create symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

When your head hurts, your first reaction may be to turn to pain pills like aspirin or ibuprofen. Although these medications can help with headaches, the effects are not usually long lasting because they do nothing for the cause of pain. Once the drug wears off, you could be hurting again.

When you see your chiropractor, you have a complete examination. The chiropractor has many different testing procedures to help determine the cause of your pain. You may receive motion x-ray tests, electromyography to check nerve function, and a physical exam of the neck and surrounding tissues.

Your Pasco County chiropractor provides safe and natural therapy to help your pain. It is directed at the cause of pain so once it is relieved, the pain is not likely to return. Gentle chiropractic adjustment, along with other methods help restore the spine to its natural state, and allows the body to heal.
