Headaches and Chiropractic Care in Temecula CA

by | Aug 28, 2012 | Health

The aim of Chiropractic in Temecula CA is to provide treatment for pain and other conditions that relate to the bone joints and muscles. By performing manual adjustments they correct the physical problem and relieve the pain. Back aches are the most common problem facing the chiropractor but a close second is headaches. A chiropractor can often relieve the headache by eliminating the underlying cause through adjustments.

Headaches are not just headaches; there are different types of headaches. Chiropractic in Temecula CA sees more patients with tension headaches caused by tense muscles in the back of the neck and shoulders. If any spinal bone is compromised in any fashion headaches will often be the result because of nerve or tissue pressure. People with chronic tension headaches will often miss neck and spine problems as being at the root of the pain and they don’t have an examination. Headache pain is at times easy to cover by the use of over the counter pain relievers. Medications of this nature treat the symptom and not the underlying cause which results in overuse of the medication. There is always controversy surrounding chiropractic care and it’s no different when the discussion swings to headaches. Seeing a chiropractor can be helpful and even if the treatment is not supported widely, you will probably feel relief.

A second type of headache identified by Chiropractic in Temecula CA is called cervicogenic and is caused by the lack of mobility in the upper cervical area. Chiropractic care is known to be very helpful for this type of headache as the source of the headache can get direct care. As tension headaches share a common element it is argued that they too can benefit from manipulation which tends to relax and stretch the offending neck muscles.

A chiropractor will perform various adjustments and make various movements through the use of his hands. The chiropractor will first conduct a rather extensive survey of your background and history and may also use X-Rays to identify the problem. Once the problem has been isolated Chiropractic in Temecula CA will suggest a course of treatment. A chiropractor, if his diagnosis warrants it, will also suggest you seek care with your main provider of healthcare.

A primary cause of headaches is simple stress and exhaustion. If you are travelling you are susceptible to headaches, large crowds, bright lights, unfamiliar sights and sounds and smells can add up to a huge headache. As you are not at home in your comfort zone and you can’t visit your chiropractor what can you do? Always travel with a pair of sunglasses that you can use anywhere to reduce the glare of harsh lighting. During plane changes and delays keep busy, take a cup of tea, grab a cookie, read a magazine, anything that will occupy your mind, if the airport has a spa, use it. The object here is to remain relaxed.
