Holiday Self-Care & Stress Relief
November 25, 2024
If you have ever had a serious headache, then you know it can stop you in your tracks. It could be a tension headache from stress, cluster headaches, headaches from too much screen time, or the dreaded migraine. No matter what type of headaches you get, know that there is relief available. Many people are able to find headache relief by getting chiropractic care. Something as simple as letting your body process what it needs properly can make a huge difference in how you feel.
Most of the time, when you get a headache, you assume it is because something is going on with your head. Rarely are you going to automatically think your back must have an issue if your head hurts. However, the latter is often the case. All types of headaches have the potential of coming from a communication problem through your spine.
Your spine serves as the message portal in your body. Whenever your brain needs to send or receive a message, it travels along the spine to get where it needs to go. If there is an issue with your spine, like a disc that is out of alignment, the message may be diverted. In this case, you may get something like a tension headache instead of a message that your anxiety is higher than usual.
The same goes with cluster headaches. You may think that you are under more stress than you usually would be, so you dismiss your symptoms. This is especially true since these types of headaches often show up around the same time each year. Unfortunately, it could actually be a way of your body saying your back needs adjusting.

Call us here at Livingston County Chiropractic today and let us know what type of symptoms your headaches are causing. Whether it is just the occasional tension headache, chronic cluster headaches, or something in between, we will do all we can to help.
