Tired of living with chronic headaches? Dr. Adam Zsely at Strongsville Chiropractic Health Center in Strongsville, OH, offers personalized care to help you achieve lasting relief.
Treating and Preventing Headaches
When your head is pounding, the last thing you want to do is think about why – or even how to prevent the next one. You simply want the pain to go away, so you reach for a bottle of pain reliever and try to make it through your day.
While this method can provide some temporary relief, chances are pretty high that you’ll be in pain again – maybe even in a couple of hours when the medication wears off. What if there was a better way? What if you could not only make the pain dissipate but also prevent it from happening – without needing to open the medicine cabinet? While this might seem impossible, the truth is that chiropractic care is very effective in treating and preventing headaches.
The Source of Your Pain
A headache can be caused by many different things, but there is one thing that’s consistent among them all: it’s a sign that something isn’t right. It could be that your body and mind are stressed after a long day, or that you ate something your body is having trouble with. However, in many cases, a headache is caused by something in the musculoskeletal system, such as:
- Tension
- Misalignment
- Herniated discs
- Nerve compression
These issues are often caused by habits such as poor posture, not exercising enough, and accidents that impact the musculoskeletal system. Until the underlying issues are addressed, the headaches will continue.
Chiropractic Headache Relief
Visiting a chiropractor like Dr. Zsely at Strongsville Chiropractic Health Center in Strongsville, OH, means determining the underlying root of your headaches. Then, a customized care plan can be developed to address that root and any related factors.
For example, imagine your headaches are caused by a misalignment that led to a herniated disc and compressed nerve. The misalignment was caused by sitting at a desk for hours with poor posture. Your treatment plan would likely include:
- Adjustments to correct the misalignment and relieve the pressure from the disc and nerve
- Therapeutic exercises to strengthen the spinal column and support proper posture
- Lifestyle adjustments, such as setting up a more ergonomic workspace, taking breaks to stretch, and more
The exact techniques utilized will depend on your needs, but they will comprehensively address the issues that are causing and contributing to your pain.
