Many people suffer from headaches. Much of this pain can be traced to the spine. The spine protects the nervous system as it makes its exit from one's skull and becomes the spinal cord. However, if the vertebrae in one's neck do not move properly, they can cause irritation or pressure on the nerves in the area, resulting in headaches. To correct the problem, a Bakersfield CA Chiropractor makes a gentle adjustment to the vertebrae.

One can experience spinal problems in his neck due to many different reasons. Some may have occurred in the birthing process. Others are traced to falls, car wrecks or sports. Adding bad posture and life stress to the mix makes the problems even worse.

Migraines can cause sharp, severe pain. The headache may seem to throb and normally affects one side of the head. Tension headache pain is often longer lasting and occurs more frequently. The dull pain is steady. With chiropractic care, patients often find help for either type of headache pain.

During the initial visit to a doctor of chiropractic, the patient will have a consultation and spinal exam. Sometimes the doctor orders x-rays and other types of tests. Once chiropractors understand the pain source, they explain it to the patient and develop a therapy plan to bring relief by correcting the underlying condition.

After the pain stops, the body will continue to heal from the headache source. The doctor of chiropractic may make further adjustments that train the vertebrae to remain in place. These adjustments improve function of one's nervous system and allow the body's natural healing ability to restore health.

Continuing care by a Bakersfield CA Chiropractor can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. As headache pain leaves, it is possible to enjoy life more. In time, when combined with a healthy diet, exercise and periodic chiropractic adjustments, it is possible to live with less pain and better health.
