Migraines and other types of headaches can be very painful. They can be caused by tension, stress, sinus pressure, dehydration, and more. In America, 9 out of 10 people suffer from headaches. Some can be temporary, short-term headaches and others, like migraines, can last for days. They can cause minor throbbing pains in the head or even cause debilitating pain and nausea.

Drug-Free Migraine Treatment

Many people try to use painkillers as a solution to headaches. Chiropractic is a better alternative to popping pills for the pain. Research shows that spinal manipulations can help treat tension headaches and migraines that originate in the neck. Instead of reaching for the painkillers you may have in your medicine cabinet, try visiting a chiropractor for a holistic and natural way to treat your ailment.

Headaches are a common complaint for patients who seek chiropractic help. A chiropractic adjustment can improve spinal function, alleviate any stress on your system, and relieve headaches. The treatment of headaches typically focuses on the neck, which is known as the cervical region. To treat the pain, a chiropractor will perform various adjustments and movements in that region of the neck, usually with their hands. These adjustments are designed to correct identified problems and allow you to regain movement and reduce headaches and other associated pain. Dr. Crist in Franklin, TN can also provide you with appropriate stretches and exercises to help improve posture.

You don’t need to continue suffering through tension headaches and migraines any longer. Come visit Crist Chiropractic in Franklin, TN for an evaluation so Dr. Crist can treat you for your pain. You can even schedule an appointment online.
