If you suffer from headaches, it would be wise to have a spinal check-up. Chiropractic provides a safe method for this, a method without medications, which over the years has helped millions of people suffering from headaches.

Even though chiropractic does not aim to be either the treatment or the cure for headaches, it offers a different method for health care. Chiropractors free you from a silent killer –the tension of the spinal nerves (or vertebral subluxation complex), the same one that can undermine your health. This condition, like an epidemic lurking, affects millions of individuals.

By eliminating the tension from the spinal nerves, your body functions better, thus utilizing its natural energy to heal. How does it achieve this? Here’s why.

Muscle tension headaches

The causes of headaches are very varied. There are headaches that arise from inhaling strong-smelling substances; bright lights; sinus problems; high blood pressure; dental, ear, or vision issues; fevers, infections, tumors; seizures; lumbar pains; alcoholic beverages; drugs; accidents, etc.

One can get a headache simply from worrying about all its possible causes. And this leads us to the most common type of headache: the muscle tension headache, caused by worries or “stress,” which accounts for up to 90% of headaches.

What causes the “pain” in a headache?

Interestingly, the headache does not come from the brain. Seriously! The brain is not equipped to experience sensations. Even during brain surgery, there are patients who remain fully awake and feel no pain; in fact, sometimes they even talk to the doctors during the operation (with the prior application of an anesthetic to numb the scalp).

So, what makes our head hurt? The veins and arteries that are precisely in the brain and skull, the membranes surrounding the brain, and certain nerves in the head, called cranial nerves. When these are subjected to tension, or if they are compressed, irritated, inflamed, or infected, headaches often arise.

Treatment

The treatment for headaches depends on their causes. Generally, a headache caused by vision problems can be relieved by using glasses. A headache caused by an infection of the sinuses or ears can be eliminated by controlling the infection.
But generally, the most common headaches are treated with pain relievers or other medications.

The hundreds of millions of dollars that people spend each year on remedies ranging from aspirin and Tylenol TM to other prescription medications may provide the desired relief, but it should not be forgotten that the pain may disappear without correcting the cause that originated it. This is why millions of people take all kinds of pills for years, perhaps suffering from the side effects of this continuous medication, and all without improving their situation, only feeling better temporarily. Of course, this is not a healthy way to live.

The chiropractic alternative

As time goes by, millions of people suffering from migraines are turning to the natural, medication-free alternative to regain the health that chiropractic offers. Chiropractors are the only health professionals trained to analyze and correct the silent killer known as the vertebral subluxation complex, a spinal distortion that can damage your nerves, inflame tissues, cause muscle tension and nerve entrapment, weaken your body, cause fatigue, and make your body susceptible to diseases. It is, in fact, an epidemic lurking.

The spinal examination

Just as having a dental cavity can harm you unsuspectingly, the vertebral subluxation complex can cause serious damage, sometimes for years, without you even realizing it.
With the help of their hands, X-rays, and other instruments to analyze your spine, your chiropractor will determine if you suffer from the vertebral subluxation complex. Similarly, using special techniques, your chiropractor will perform a spinal adjustment to correct the problem, eliminating pressure from the nerves and distortions in your spine.

Self-restoration

Remember that the purpose of the chiropractic adjustment is not to eliminate the headache, but to end the tension of the spinal nerves generated by the vertebral subluxation complex. This allows your body to restore itself and achieve a better level of health and well-being, that is, to self-restore your health.

Research

Several researchers have looked into the relationship between the spine and headaches.

For example, a study involving 6000 patients suffering from chronic headaches (aged between 2 and 25 years) revealed that neck injuries (sudden jerks of the neck and falls) were the most important factor in the origin of headaches and should be observed with greater scrutiny in all cases of headaches without specific causes.

Another study highlighted that spinal care is especially effective in cases of childhood migraines. In another study of 100 headache sufferers, researchers observed a tremendous improvement when spinal and neck adjustments were practiced.

However, these findings are nothing new. As early as 1933, the famous pathologist N.T Ussher observed that a misaligned spine can produce pathological changes that generate not only headaches but many other states of illness (chiropractors had been saying this for several decades).
Scientific evidence supports the chiropractic proposal that spinal care is fundamental for those suffering from the discomfort of headaches. “What has been written in favor of the (spinal) origin of headaches is substantial, and the evidence is… overwhelming.”

That is, if you suffer from headaches, make sure your spine is healthy–consult your chiropractor.

Postscript: No matter what illness or condition it is, you can enjoy a healthy spine.

Your spinal health can be as important to your overall health as good nutrition.

Could it be that you, your family, or your friends are carrying the silent killer known as the vertebral subluxation complex in their spine? Only a spinal examination can tell.

Among the multiple factors affecting your health status are: the quality of the air you breathe, the type of food and water you consume; how you manage emotional stress; your weaknesses and your innate areas of aptitude; your use or abuse of drugs; your exercise and relaxation habits – a healthy spine is essential. For some people, this becomes a determining factor between a healthy life and one full of diseases, weakness, and disability.
