Headaches are very common, in fact 87% of people have experienced them in the past 12 months. You don’t need to put up with them, Chiropractic may help.
Headaches, including tension headaches, migraines and sinus headaches, are commonly associated with poor posture, stress and incorrect biomechanics in the pelvis, spine or skull. Grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw can also result in headaches.
Chiropractic can be helpful in reducing and alleviating headaches without the use of drugs. Gentle Chiropractic techniques on the joints and muscles improve the biomechanics of the body. By normalising the biomechanics of the pelvis, spine and skull, the muscular and skeletal system can function as it is designed to and as such function in a very balanced efficient and ergonomic manner. This has the effect of reducing any muscle tension and strain, and improving the blood supply to the head and neck.
Cranials are a separate technique to help release tension in the skull and improve jaw alignment. This reduces the symptoms such as pain and muscle spasm in the head, neck and jaw, that occur due to grinding and clenching.
