Fix Neck Tension

How does chiropractic help with tension
headaches? Tension headaches are the
most common headaches. We see these all
day long in our office. Everybody’s
experienced a tension headache at some
point. There’s no specific test for it.
It’s characterized by its symptoms.
Typically, a patient will describe it as
a band-like pressure across their head.
It can cause tight neck muscles. The
upper back feels tight and limited. Uh
it can also have accompanying neck pain
which is very common. It will have the
absence of the typical migraine symptoms
like the nausea, the vomiting, but these
patients can have some sensitivity to
light. Chiropractic is a natural
non-invasive way to help manage these
tension type headaches. How does it
help? Well, the bones of the spine when
they’re not moving properly and they get
locked up, they get jammed up, it
creates tension of the muscle. It
affects the actual movement of the
joint. They don’t glide normally. It
could affect the alignment of the bones.
When proper motion is restored in the
neck, it allows that muscle to relax.
When it’s aligned properly, the body can
function more efficiently. Turning left
to right, top to bottom becomes more
smooth.
If you’re experiencing any type of neck
pain accompanied by that tension
headache, chiropractic is an excellent
choice. If you have any questions about
