Can Chiropractors Treat Headaches?
Chiropractic is a versatile treatment method capable of helping patients from head to toe. While back pain relief is the most common reason patients see chiropractors, approximately a third of all patients seek chiropractic care for headaches. Dr. Gary Lipkin here at Longview Chiropractic Center offers quality, drug-free headache treatments through chiropractic care in Longview, TX.
What Causes Headaches?
Headaches crop up and make you feel miserable for a few reasons, making it important to receive the appropriate treatment for relief. Headaches can be caused by tension in your neck, back or shoulders, stress, a chemical imbalance, sleep loss, poor posture, eye strain, or even your body negatively reacting to something you ate or drank.
You’ll want to see Dr. Lipkin to rule out your headaches stemming from any health issues. Headaches can be due to inflammatory conditions—like encephalitis—or due a head injury, high blood pressure, nerve conditions, and more, all of which need appropriate care.
How Chiropractic Care Treats Headaches
Dr. Lipkin will delve into your health history and perform a full evaluation to determine the best course of action, and then go over options with you so you can stay informed and in control of your health. Often, a neck adjustment can provide immediate relief. However, if it’s due to diet or poor posture, Dr. Lipkin can make lifestyle recommendations and coach you through posture correction. Since pain pills only mask symptoms, all of Dr. Lipkin’s treatments are drug-free. Some of the best ways to avoid headaches are preventative measures.
