Headaches/Miagrains

Many people believe headaches are caused by loud noise, being tired, or being stressed.  While these are all factors that can aggravate headaches, the direct cause is often a tightness in the neck and shoulders.  The tightness can cause misalignments in the vertebrae of your neck, resulting in pain.  An average of 80% of headaches originate from the neck.  With a typical cervicogenic (neck origin) headache; a person usually feels pain starting at the base of the skull which radiates into the temples, eyeballs and forehead.

Chiropractic Treatment

Massage of the neck and shoulder muscles can release tension, and a chiropractic adjustment can realign the vertebrae and release pressure in the spinal joints (face joints).  MLS Laser therapy has special settings just for headaches rendering the trigger points at the base of the skull relaxed and released.  MLS is entirely safe and can be applied both by the hand held Laser, or robotic application using the Ultra-Head for larger areas of the neck.  Chiropractic can help eliminate the cause of your headaches rather than just offering a temporary symptom covering medication.
