Headaches Part 2
HEADACHE
The latest researches shows that about 10% of men and 12% of women in the US experience 1-2 headaches per month. More than 4% of the population of the US suffers from frequent headache which is defined as headaches that occur at least 180 days a year. That means a headache occurs every other day!
Researchers have identified over 300 causes of headaches. There are various pain sensitive structures and tissues which can cause a headache. These include subcutaneous tissues, muscles, arteries, bones and nerves. Fortunately though, only a few issues are responsible for most headaches. These issues include:
- Cervico-genic problems with the neck
- Muscle tension
- Traumatic injuries i.e. auto accidents
- Drugs
- Migraines
- Cluster
Chiropractic Physicians can successfully help you obtain safe, effective and long lasting relief from most headaches. This is because most headaches have a component related to the spine, muscles and habit. Surveys show that 10-25% of patients initially come to a Chiropractic Physician for the relief of their headaches.
