Preventing Tension Headache with Chiropractic

Tension Headache Relief with Chiropractic in Alpharetta

Many people suffer with headache pain, and tension headaches are a frequent problem in our busy world. Postural problems and stress are common causes of tension headache and ones that Dr. Berklich and the personnel here in our Alpharetta chiropractic office have a lot of experience in helping.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Eases Tension Headaches

The scientific literature shows our results: A 2016 study from Spain managed a group of 76 patients with chronic tension headaches. The participants were divided into four treatment groups: 19 patients were treated with suboccipital inhibition (the therapist presses on the tight tissues at the top of the spine); 19 with chiropractic therapy; 19 with both adjustments and suboccipital inhibition; and 19 received no treatment.

The researchers reported that the spinal adjustments were helpful at relieving pain, and that the best results were found when adjustments were combined with the suboccipital inhibition.

When we get stressed out, the nerves and tissues in the neck can be disrupted, leading to pain. Chiropractic works by eliminating these stresses and restoring the normal nerve function to the area.
