Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Carrolltown headache. It is a condition many people experience. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are a couple of the more often discussed ones. The cervicogenic headache is related to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is linked to neck muscles generated by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache types tend to respond to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is described as the second most common health concern around the globe. A recent review of published papers for its care explained that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for decreasing headache frequency, enhancing quality of life, lessening pain intensity, and diminishing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Carrolltown chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A recent study noted how researchers utilized diagnostic block testing to find the cervical spine joint source of the headache. Generally, the C2-3 level was the most common source. In patients whose principal complaint was headache over neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. In patients whose neck pain was worse than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Carrolltown headache sufferer must undergo this type of testing to be helped, but the results were interesting for healthcare providers to aid diagnose and treat headache patients more beneficially.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was applied frequently to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, supplied superior, small, short term benefits for reducing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual approaches.

In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers explained how SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability drop and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache.
