Headaches and migraines are some of the leading causes of why people miss work or school. Denton Chiropractic Center in Denton, TX looks at how chiropractic care can be a part of an effective pain management plan for headaches and migraines.
Spinal Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments help with pain relief and relax your body enough so that you can get deep, refreshing sleep. Lack of sleep can contribute to headaches and migraines. Some people get so relaxed during treatment that they fall asleep. When your spine is correctly aligned, it won’t put too much pressure on your nerves.
Posture Correction
Once your spine’s natural alignment has been restored, you will want to keep it in place. Our chiropractor will help you achieve the best posture so that undue pressure is not put on your nerves. You may also be given exercises to do at home to help with pain relief and to improve your sitting and standing postures.
No Painkillers
A chiropractor cannot prescribe medicine, including painkillers. A 2018 study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine suggested that people who use opioid painkillers for just one day had a 6% chance of still being on opioids a year later. If opioids are used for 30 days, then chances rise to almost 30%. You may not be able to discontinue painkillers with chiropractic care, but you may be able to significantly reduce the need to take painkillers.
Chiropractic Treatment Options
Chiropractors tailor a pain management plan to suit your unique needs. You may be offered nutritional counseling, massage therapy, or laser therapy to promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and relieve your pain. When you first visit our office, our chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine the root cause of your headaches and migraines before creating a chiropractic care plan to reduce them in both frequency and intensity.
