Preventing Tension Headache with Chiropractic

Tension Headache Relief with Chiropractic in Prescott

Many people suffer from headache pain, and tension headaches are a common problem in our busy world. Postural problems and stress are common causes of tension headache pain and ones that Weary Chiropractic Clinic and the team here in our Prescott chiropractic office have a lot of experience in helping.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Eases Tension Headaches

The scientific literature verifies our results: 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 treatment; 19 with both adjustments and suboccipital inhibition; and 19 received no treatment.

The researchers reported that the spinal adjustments were beneficial at relieving pain, and that the best results were found when spinal adjustments were mixed with the suboccipital inhibition.

When we get run down, the nerves and tissues in the neck can be disrupted, leading to pain. Chiropractic works by eliminating these strains and restoring the normal nerve function to the tissues.
