Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Fort Wayne headache. It’s a condition from which many people suffer. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more often discussed types. The cervicogenic headache is linked to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is linked to the muscles of the neck caused by stress or odd 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 studies for its treatment found that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for decreasing headache frequency, improving quality of life, reducing pain intensity, and decreasing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A current study noted how researchers utilized diagnostic block testing to find the cervical spine joint source of the headache. In general, 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%. For 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 Fort Wayne headache sufferer must undergo this type of procedure to be helped, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to aid diagnose and set up a treatment plan for headache patients more beneficially.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was applied often to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, provided superior, small, short term benefits for decreasing 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 described in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers found that SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability drop and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy treatments like this benefit headache. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic provides Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Fort Wayne headache and neck pain.
