[Do adjustments help headaches?]

There are four main types of headaches. We’re going to have a tension headache. That’s going to be the classic stress headache, a band around the forehead, maybe around the temples, all the way back down to the bottom of the skull. The other type of common headache is called cervicogenic. The neck being out of alignment will cause pressure on some of the nerves in the upper cervical spine and when that vertebra is out of place, it can put tension on the muscles, the disc to the nerve that cause you to have a headache or referring head pain. Another common type of headache is going to be a common migraine and then we have classic migraines. The difference is that classic migraine is going to have an aura with it. So some people call it a prodrome or you may have light or audio or hearing sensitivity. Migraines can be caused by certain food triggers, environment, maybe change in the weather. Another big common cause of headaches and migraines is stress. So the adjustments will help allow the body to relax and have a better treatment for helping your migraine and your headaches.
