Freedom From Headaches

Day in and day out I have the opportunity to meet patients in my office who have been suffering needlessly with pains and headaches, many times for years. When I look at what is wrong with these patients through motion x-rays, and ProAdjuster scans and begin adjusting them we find that the majority of them are in pain because the bones in their spines are out of alignment or stuck in place. It is my greatest privilege to bring alignment and function back to someone’s spine and watch the pain go away. But frankly I am frustrated! I am frustrated because I know that there are MILLIONS more people out there that are suffering on a daily basis with debilitating pain that would be relieved with chiropractic care. Some estimates suggest 25% of the population has a headache right now! A comprehensive U.S. study reported that 10 million Americans suffer moderate to severe disability from various forms of headaches. It’s time that people know there is an answer to their headaches other than potentially harmful medications.

When I met my wonderful girlfriend, Angela, she suffered with headaches on an ongoing basis. I found that the top bone in her neck (which I refer to as the “headache bone”) was out of alignment and was pinching on the nerves in her neck, causing her headaches. After correcting the alignment of this “headache bone”, her headaches have almost completely disappeared. Now she only gets them if she sleeps in an awkward position. I have had many, many cases just like Angela’s over the years and get amazing results. Because I want to get the word out about how powerful chiropractic is for treating headaches I have made July, “Freedom From Headache” month!

All month I will be holding events to help people understand how chiropractic care can help them get rid of their headaches. On July 16th and the 23rd I will be holding complimentary, no obligation headache evaluations consisting of a headache consultation, and a ProAdjuster scan to assess if someone’s spine is causing his/her headaches. Also on July 23rd at 6pm here at Back in Action I will be holding an informational headache class, on the different types of headaches and how to fix them.

•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.
•90% of people that come into Back in Action Chiropractic suffering from headache have a misalignment in their upper necks.

While I have seen amazing results in my own patients, there is also a growing body of other research that shows that chiropractic treatments are very effective for headaches.

“Researchers found that chiropractic patients experienced fewer side effects (than medication) and while both were effective during the treatment phase of the study, only the chiropractic patients continued to report fewer headaches when treatment ended.” [Boline, PD, Kassak, K, et al. “Journal of Manipulative and Physiological thereapeutics.” March/April 1995; Vol 18, No 3, pp. 148-154]

“Based on literature review of several headache treatment options, a panel of 19 multidisciplinary experts concluded that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for cervicogenic headaches and had significantly fewer side effects and longer lasting relief of tension type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.” [McCrory DC, et al. “Evidence Report: Behavioral and Physical Treatments for Tension type and Cervicogenic Headache.” Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center, Durham, North Carolina, January 2001.]

Now that you know that there is an answer for debilitating headaches, don’t let your friends and family continue to suffer. I am providing an easy and painless way for your friends and family to find out if chiropractic care would be beneficial in correcting their headaches. I am offering multiple informational events completely FREE of charge to give people an opportunity to find help for their headaches. I am sick of seeing people suffer with headaches and I hope you will help me tell as many people as possible that there is hope. I have also developed a free headache report which goes into much more detail about chiropractic treatments for headaches. You can download this report at www.bellevueheadachereport.com

Through out the month I will also be posting headache related articles to the Back in Action blog at www.backinactionchiropractic.com/blog. If you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help you please do not hesitate to call us 425-635-0495
