Why Do We Get Headaches?

• Muscle contractions in the neck
• Stress
• Certain foods
• Eye strain
• Alcohol
• Dry eyes
• Fatigue
• Smoking
• Cold or flu
• Sinus infection or pressure
• Poor posture
• Emotional stress

These factors–and many more not listed here–mostly lead to one of the five most common types of headaches. Health.com lists these headaches as follows:

● Tension – the most common; characterized by constant aching near the temples or back of the head and neck
● Cluster – happen on one side of the head, and are often debilitating and accompanied by watery eyes and a runny nose
● Sinus – due to inflamed sinuses from infection or allergies
● Rebound – headaches actually caused by taking too many OTC pain relievers
● Migraines – lasting between 4 and 72 hours, and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and throbbing pain

Some take over-the-counter medications to relieve certain types of headaches, but these only address the acute discomfort. Medications do not address the underlying cause of acute or chronic headache pain. Stretches, hydration, and regular exercise can also help. There’s also another solution.

What Can a Chiropractor Do?

An expert at Cianci Chiropractic Center can intuitively and gently locate subluxations of the spine. Studying your posture, balance, and your ability to twist your head and bend at the waist, the chiropractor will be able to recognize what problem areas you might have in your spine. According to your comfort level, they will realign and adjust your spine to curve as it should. These movements will help relieve pressure on your muscles and tendons that run through your back, up your neck, and around your skull.

The professionals at Cianci Chiropractic Center provide leading-edge care that helps people live healthy, productive lives–free from the pain of headaches and more.
