At Sunset Coast Chiropractic in Wanneroo we understand that if you’re a sufferer of chronic headaches or migraines, you don’t need convincing that they’re one of the most painful, debilitating conditions you could possibly suffer.
A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. When spinal nerves and related tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
Chiropractic treatment can often help.
If a thorough examination by one of Sunset Coast Chiro’s experienced Chiropractors reveals reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves, or mechanical restrictions, chiropractic care should be considered. After a complete examination at our Wanneroo clinic, you’ll receive a care program designed for your unique spinal problem.
So what can chiropractic do to help?
- By performing gentle but specific adjustments to the neck and upper back Sunset Coast Chiro will restore the normal alignment and function of the vertebrae in the neck, which removes the tension that causes headache and migraine symptoms. As well as removing the tension, the inflammation around the joints, muscles and blood vessels is decreased and the pain fibres begin to be deactivated.
- Our skilled Chiropractors also offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back.
- Use of trigger point therapy, massage and other supporting types of treatments can also be offered or suggested by Sunset Coast Chiro Chiros to create a holistic approach to the problem.
- Chiropractors may also provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins.
