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

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Tonawanda chiropractic patients want to understand the source of their headache. A current study detailed how researchers used diagnostic block testing to pinpoint the cervical spine joint source of the headache. In general, the C2-3 level was the most frequent source. In patients whose chief complaint was headache more than 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 Tonawanda headache sufferer must undergo this type of procedure to be helped, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to help diagnose and treat headache patients in a better way.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers stated that spinal manipulation was applied frequently to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, provided superior, small, short term benefits for reducing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual treatment. (3) One relieving treatment referred to as SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been explained in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers explained how SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability decrease as well as range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy treatments like this help headache. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation provides Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Tonawanda headache and neck pain.
