Do you suffer from headaches? If so, you’re not alone. There are many types of headaches. The two most common are tension headaches, and migraines. Just as there are many types of headaches, there are also many treatments. A study done by the medical journal, Headache, describes how the muscles in the neck can cause head pain. Myofascial trigger points can reduce muscle function creating a disuse weakness, essentially continuing the pain cycle. Also, some tension headaches can become so severe and chronic they mimic migraines in many ways. The only difference is their response to many of the medications used to treat them. This is when chiropractics is very successful at treating headaches. Restoring motion to restricted vertebrae in the neck and back will break the cycle of muscle spasm, increase range of motion and stop the pain.
