Headaches
This is Dr. Lyle R Van Hemert of Align Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This video deals with one of the most devastating conditions in health care in America today, headaches. Most people think that headaches are a common occurrence and two pain pills, you’re good, and on your way to having a normal day.
Causes
Headaches can come out of nowhere and have many causes. One of the most common causes of headaches is muscle tension in the upper neck along with neck nerves that are irritated. When headaches come out of nowhere the cause can be years of neglect in your neck that add up leading to muscle spasms and irritated nerves causing your headache. There are several specific incidences that can cause headaches such as automobile accidents, sleeping wrong, and exercising incorrectly. Here at Align Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota we have very effective treatments for your headaches because they treat the cause of the pain and does not mask the symptoms by medication.
Exercises for Headaches
After receiving adjustments to help gently realign the spine, neck exercises are needed to help stabilize and hold the spine in its new position. There are typically four neck exercises that can be done and recommended. The four exercises are flexion, extension, left lateral, and right lateral flexion. These exercises are either done at home or in a rehabilitation setting in the clinic depending on the specific condition of the neck. If you do not strengthen the muscles in your neck, the muscle spasms and nerve irritation can return.
Chiropractic care is all natural and conservative care for Headaches
Chiropractic care gets to the cause of your headaches. Chiropractic care gently adjusts your neck bones to take pressure off of the nerves, this allows your muscles to relax naturally and take pressure off of the nerves in your neck. Chiropractic care does not mask your symptoms as does over-the-counter medication. There’s a lot of published literature showing chiropractic care to be very effective for headaches.
