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.
If a thorough examination reveals reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves, or mechanical
restrictions, chiropractic care should be considered. Specific adjustments can help correct spinal joint dysfunction created by various chemical, emotional and physical stresses in our lives.
