Chiropractic, I have found over 22 years in practice works wonders with headache pain relief. Often times, I find very tight muscles underneath the base of the skull at my Palm Beach Gardens Chiropractic Office. These tight muscles are caused by a lactic acid buildup. Normally, the first thing that I do with a headache patient is to eliminate that lactic acid. This takes the pressure off the nerve and relieves the headache rapidly in most cases. As a Palm Beach Gardens Chiropractor, I pride myself on fast pain relief.
There is another possible cause that must be checked with headache patients. The Chiropractor must locate weather the Atlas bone at the top of the neck is normally aligned or subluxated AKA mal-positioned. This can be accomplished through palpation and x-ray by your Chiropractor.
Another great idea with these headache patients is to use a few therapies that rid the area of inflammation swiftly. I have a host of different machines at my office that accomplish inflammation reduction rapidly. It should be noted that not all Palm Beach Gardens Chiropractors use extensive therapies to relieve pain and inflammation, but we believe it speeds up the healing process at our Chiropractic Office in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
After clearing the buildup of lactic acid and inflammation, it is a great idea to ask the patient drink a lot of water that day. This helps drain the recently released toxins out of the body.
Headache pain relief is one of the easiest things to clear up at my Palm Beach Gardens Chiropractic Office. Often times, these headaches are seen during periods of increased stress. So, learning to deal with the stress by exercising and other stress relieving outlets may also help to stop the headache before it has a chance to get started.
Hope this information helps you!
