Chiropractic Effective for Tension Headaches

Estero, Bonita Springs Headache Treatment by Chiropractic Care & Rehab CenterMany people suffer from headache pain, and tension headaches are a common problem in our busy lives. Postural problems and stress are common sources of tension headaches, and ones that Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center and the staff here in our Estero, Bonita Springs chiropractic office have a lot of experience in treating.

The scientific literature verifies our findings: A 2016 study from Spain treated a group of 76 patients with chronic tension headaches. The participants were divided into four treatment groups: 19 patients were treated with suboccipital inhibition (the doctor presses on the tight tissues at the top of the spine); 19 with chiropractic adjustments; 19 with both adjustments and suboccipital inhibition; and 19 received no treatment.

The authors reported that the spinal adjustments were effective at relieving pain, and that the best results were found when adjustments were coupled with the suboccipital inhibition.

When we get stressed, the nerves and tissues in the neck can be disrupted, causing pain. Chiropractic works by removing these stresses and restoring the normal nerve function to the area.

If you live in Estero, Bonita Springs and are dealing with any kind of headache, we're here to help you get relief. Call Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center today at (239) 495-1166 for an appointment or more information.
