Headaches

Just because headaches are so common, it does not make it a normal part of life. Headaches are warning signs that something is wrong. Among the many causes are emotional, physical and chemical stresses such as forcep delivery for children, sitting behind a computer, toxic fumes, preservatives, alcohol and chocolate, just to name a few.

There are many different types of headaches. One of the most common causes of headaches is subluxation or a misalignment in the upper neck area. This causes the spine to lose its normal position or motion, which consequently causes irritation to the nerve fibres and can producee throbbing headaches, migraines, pain behind the eyes and the base of the head and in the temple areas.

Although over the counter medications may temporarily alleviate the pain, they in no way can correct the underlying structural causes and in most cases carry harmful side effects, which are far worse than the original problem.

Loss of the curve in the neck area ( lordosis) due to car accidents, prolonged sitting with the forward head carriage, is the common cause of many headaches that chiropractors can correct.
