Walnut Creek Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Lyndon Zerna


A headache can stop you in your tracks. Headache sufferers become sensitive to light and sound and in some cases suffer from nausea. People who endure recurring headaches know the condition is negatively affecting the quality of their lives. How wonderful that there is a Walnut Creek chiropractor who can help them find immediate relief.

Chiropractors have known for many years that misalignment of the upper cervical spine can cause headaches. In most cases, realignment of the spine results in quick relief. Taking over the counter pain relievers may offer temporary relief but does not address what actually is causing the pain.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a disconnect between medical doctors and chiropractors. Medical doctors will prescribe drugs to relieve the pain, but seem at a loss at how to address the cause. Chiropractic care goes to the root of the problem, and it does so without addictive prescription drugs.

In 1995 there was a study done by medical doctors which found that neck misalignment can often be the cause of headaches. One doctor noted that chiropractors have asserted the very same for years. However, many physicians discount the chiropractic profession and its assertions In the end, patients are the ones who suffer from this disconnect between the two professions.

Whatever the consensus opinion of medical doctors is, it should not stop headache sufferers from seeking relief through chiropractic care. The American Chiropractic Association put out a press release stating that ninety percent of Americans have headaches. This is an extremely common problem, but there is help available.

Some chiropractors have chosen to focus their practice exclusively on the upper cervical spine. Misalignment of the neck occurs frequently due to the incredible range of motion in neck. It is reassuring to know that headaches usually are not symptomatic of underlying disease. If there is no disease, fixing the misalignment frequently fixes the problem. Sufferers can return to a state of wellness.
