HEADACHES
Did you know that American Neurologic Association states that only 3-4 headaches a year are “normal“, any more than this should be evaluated?
Many people consider headaches to be a pretty minor condition that doesn’t necessarily need the attention of a healthcare professional. Most people are inclined to take some sort of pain killer and call it a day. What they don’t understand is that, while the pain killer may take care of the pain, it does nothing to address the actual cause of the headaches. Headaches can be an indication of other more serious health problems and should not be taken lightly.
Chiropractors and acupuncturists have been extremely successful in detecting and treating the cause of headache pain for patients. By concentrating on the cause of the headaches, chiropractic and acupuncture treatments are a much more effective and healthy alternative to drug treatments.
