Clarksville Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care Without Medication

By Lance Aldinger


Most headaches are medically classified as primary headaches. This means that patients experience pain due to the headache itself and not because of pressure in the skull due to infections or tumors. Primary headache sufferers often find help from a Clarksville TN chiropractor.

Tension headaches are the most common type. They cause a steady pain often described as a tight feeling. Some only last a few minutes but others may remain for several days. Chronic tension headache sufferers often have rebound headaches from overuse of pain medication.

Cervicogenic Headaches are caused by disorders in the neck. When the spine is out of balance, pain may be referred to the head. These headaches can be made worse by sustaining an awkward positioning of a person's head. They often include such conditions as a stiff neck, arm or shoulder pain.

While migraine headaches are less common than tension headaches, they can be much more severe. They can cause nausea along with sensitivity to sound, light and smells. Chemical imbalances in the brain can be triggered by foods or hormones, leading to inflammation of the capillaries. This swelling can cause pain.

Cluster headaches are most common in men and only affect about 1% of people. They can last for weeks and sometimes months. While the attack itself is generally brief the pain can be severe and one attack may follow another. If they strike in the middle of the night the may wake the sufferer even if he is soundly sleeping. Those who smoked or drank heavily in the past are more likely to suffer these conditions.

A Clarksville TN chiropractor can provide therapy to relieve all these headaches. Spinal adjustments can reduce their frequency as well as their intensity. Many find that chiropractic care helps to end the pain, while others discover it can lead to less severe headaches for the sufferer.
