Dallas GA Headache Sufferers Find Relief Through Chiropractic Care

By Clayton Maske


The suffering of a headache causes many people to stop what they are doing. They may take a pill or simply retreat to a cool dark place hoping the problem goes away. Unfortunately, pills are expensive, often ineffective and may have undesirable side effects. With natural therapy provided by a Dallas GA pain management chiropractor many headaches can be eliminated.

Often the cause of the headache is traced to the cervical spine, also known as the neck. The spinal column, in addition to providing support, protects the spinal cord. If the vertebrae are out of balance and do not move properly, the individual may experience headaches. Chiropractors restore the correct movement, preventing the suffering.

Neck trouble may have many different causes. In some, it dates back to their own birth process. Others suffer problems due to the maturation process. In addition, one's involvement in sports, falls or car wrecks can cause additional problems.

There are many types of headaches, including tension and migraine headaches. Tension headaches tend to last longer and cause steady, yet dull headache. Migraines can be more severe but generally last a shorter amount of time. Both types of headaches respond well to chiropractic. They become less frequent and less severe.

Chiropractors start the process by examining the patient's entire spine. If necessary, the doctor may order tests, including x-rays to understand the underlying cause. When appropriate, the doctor also provides spinal adjustments with the hands, applying gentle pressure.

Even when headaches stop, continued visits to the Dallas GA pain management chiropractor are often beneficial. The body still needs to continue healing in order to complete the process. Regular chiropractic adjustments ensure the neck remains mobile and healthy. The spinal column continues to protect the nervous system. A healthy diet, exercise and regular care make it possible to live with fewer headaches.
