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.

What are the Benefits of Chiropractic?

In order to serve you well we need to share with you the importance of chiropractic care and how it impacts every aspect of your life. With that in mind, we have prepared this website to serve that purpose. The chiropractic profession has grown to be the number one in alternative healthcare in the last 115 years, and is the safest and fastest growing health profession today. Millions of people throughout the world have first hand experience as to how chiropractic has changed the course of their health and well being forever.

The pathway to well being is a healthy spine. The spine houses and protects the spinal cord. Nerves pass from the brain to the rest of the body, between each vertebrae, where they bring the message to every organ, tissue, and cell. The nervous system controls every aspect of our body, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. The nervous system controls all other systems of the body including the respiratory, circulatory, glandular, digestive, eliminative, and reproductive systems. All your body parts fuction harmoniously together. If one part is not functioning properly, this will produce a chain reaction, similar to dominoes falling. When problems are left uncorrected, this could cause other parts of the body to not work as intended.

The spinal column is similar to the electrical fuse box through which the nerve impulses travel. The nerves leave the spinal column through openings between the moveable vertebrae. Misalignment (pinched nerve or subluxation) of the vertebrae can interfere with the normal functioning of these nerves. Misalignments can be caused by accidents, injuries, falls, bad posture, poor sleeping habits, gravity, stress, and even in the birth process, for both mother and child. This misalignment is called “subluxation.” Sitting is as devastating to the spine as sugar is to the teeth. Subluxation is painless at the beginning, similar to cavities in your teeth. The only time you feel pain is when the subluxation is there for too long compared to having a root canal that causes pain. The position of the spine literally charges your brain battery.

If for example you do not have a good input in your computer system, can it give you good output? It is similar with the spine. If your spine is misaligned, your body cannot function properly.

Chiropractic is a journey, the longer and higher you climb the healthier you become.
