Let’s talk about a little known fact about headaches. It turns out, movement is actually a critical part of the healing process for many different types of headaches. Most fall into two main categories: primary or secondary.
Primary headaches have no official known cause, while secondary headaches are caused by another physical issue in the body. One example of these headaches most of us are familiar with is cervicogenic headaches. They’re considered secondary because the source of your pain comes from the neck. Restoring proper motion in the neck is often the most effective way to treat these headaches, and, as you already know, we can help you there!
If you’ve been living with headaches, know that medications aren’t your only option. In fact, relying too heavily on over-the-counter medications can sometimes lead to more headaches! That’s where we come in.
Whether they’re primary or secondary, chiropractic care can be a helpful tool to manage them. Our team has the know-how to identify the cause and come up with a game plan to help you find lasting relief, no meds required!
