Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief

Fort Wayne headache. It is a condition many people experience. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more commonly discussed types. The cervicogenic headache is linked to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is related to neck muscles brought on by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache types tend to respond to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic.

SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position

Tension type headache is described as the second most common health concern around the world. A new 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 reducing headache frequency, enhancing quality of life, lessening pain intensity, and decreasing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint

Fort Wayne chiropractic patients want to understand the source of their headache. A recent study noted how researchers used diagnostic block testing to find 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%. For patients whose neck pain was greater than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Fort Wayne headache patient must experience this type of testing to be helped, but the results were interesting 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 used 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 approaches. (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 good for pain reduction and neck disability drop and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy treatments like this help headache. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic provides Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Fort Wayne headache and neck pain.
