Headaches are American's most common physical complaint. Instead of making doctor's appointments, most get non-prescription pain medication from local drug stores. Even over the counter antidotes can have unpleasant side effects however. For chronic, or especially severe headaches, contacting a chiropractor for the permanent headache relief Ellenville residents have received may be a good solution.

Headaches are becoming increasingly common as we spend more time in one position and are more sedentary than in the past. Prolonged sitting, such as when working at a desk all day, can lead to joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, which are the primary causes of most headaches. Spinal manipulations, the most common chiropractic technique, have been shown to considerably alleviate pain. Gentle adjustments relax tense muscles and properly align the vertebrae in the neck and back, relieving pressure on the nervous system.

According to a study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapies, chiropractic interventions can significantly mitigate headaches, especially when multiple modalities are incorporated into patients' care plans. A chiropractor may use acupuncture with adjustments to achieve headache relief. This technique involves inserting tiny needles into the skin at specific pressure points. Research shows that many patients who receive acupuncture find long-lasting headache relief.

Headaches may also be caused by certain lifestyle factors, such as eating habits, poor posture, and stress. A chiropractor can provide nutritional advice to help patients avoid food triggers and vitamin deficiencies. Headache-sufferers may also be coached in how to improve posture and avoid repetitive tasks and long periods of sitting or staying in a fixed position, especially on the job.

Frequent and intense pain reduces productivity. Drinking plenty of water and ingesting B complex are proven ways to avoid headaches. The American Chiropractic Association has a number of recommendations regarding this type of pain.

If you sit all day at your job, you need to set your alarm to remind you to get up and stretch every thirty minutes or so. This will relieve stress and reduce headaches. You might be surprised at how well it works.
