Not known to many is that chiropractic is a very effective treatment for headaches. At Tannenbaum Chiropractic in Ann Arbor we have great success helping people of Ann Arbor and surrounding communities get rid of headaches. The types headaches that people show up with at my office range from sinus to band to migraine to cluster headaches. Sometimes patients will come into our Ann Arbor office and not even mention that they have regular on chronic headaches. However, usually I can figure out that they suffer from headaches because a telltale sign of someone with headaches is neck vertebrae misalignment and as a chiropractor my expertise is finding misalignment of spinal vertebrae.

Well, what causes headaches? In many ways, and simply, neck bone misalignment causes headaches. Neck bone misalignment is almost always seen in headache suffers. Bone misalignment can be a result of a variety of things, but can cause muscle spams/tightness that causes the head to hurt. Neck bone misalignment can also cause the nervous system to not function properly and possibly effecting your hormone levels both of which can cause headaches. Neck bone misalignment can also result in other health issues that can cause headaches. Of course alcohol consumption, allergies, food sensitivities and stress can result in headaches.

So, how does chiropractic help rid one of headaches? First, chiropractic is a drug free approach to getting rid of headaches and just that in it's self is a a less invasive and more healthful and more permanent fix to getting rid of headaches then ingesting drugs. Also, and the most important, chiropractors align misaligned bones in the spine that are the root cause of most headaches. In addition, chiropractors generally do a thorough health care analysis that allows the chiropractor to suggest to the patient life style changes that may help the patient avoid things that are triggers for headaches.

By the way, numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of chiropractic in getting rid of headaches. With that in mind, you should visit our Ann Arbor chiropractic office so that we can help you get relief from your headaches.
