Dr. Andy’s weekly Chiropractic Post
This week’s topic talks about headaches. There are many types of headaches; cluster, migraine and stress. All of these types of headaches can be caused by some level of spinal misalignment or muscular adhesions.
The daily stress of our lives cause muscle to spasm or tighten. When this occurs, the nerves going into our skull can get pinched or entrapped. When the nerve gets suffocated, blood flow can be compromised creating the headaches.
If it is spinal alignment, usual the first bone of the cervical spine gets translated to the left or right. This creates an irritation to the joint and the surrounding muscles. Through myofascial release and chiropractic manipulation the affected area is calmed down to allow proper blood and neurological flow, which can eliminate or lessen the headache.
Hope this helps you,
Dr. Andy
