By Donna Beley


There are headaches that affect people in different ways. Some are caused by tension from sitting at a computer for eight hours at work. Others are migraines, still idiopathic in origin. At Peabody Chiropractic there is help to alleviate them naturally, without the use of drugs.

The tension headache is described as a dull ache behind the eyes or a tight feeling. These are caused by a subluxation in the neck or upper back. Manual adjustments can successfully correct the subluxation, which works to alleviate the pain.

The chiropractic term for a misalignment is subluxation. This occurs when the small bones that make up the spine are out of place. The cause may be an automobile crash, especially a rear-end collision.

Headaches can last for hours, or in the case of the migraine, for days. The also have different symptoms. The beginning of a migraine is often signaled by seeing an aura, or bright light display.

The chiropractor will do a thorough evaluation of the individual with headache pain. A lengthy discussion will ensue regarding foods consumed before the pain started. Certain foods are noted for triggering headaches, especially migraines.

The constriction of blood vessels in the brain, followed by a rapid dilation of those vessels are known to occur before the beginning of a migraine. Apparently the dilation is causative. However, it is not known why the constriction takes place.

The spine will be examined, both visually and by palpating it. An x-ray of the neck is commonly used to aid the evaluation. When that, and a health history is completed, a plan for care can be formulated.

Spinal adjustments are proven to help both migraine and tension headaches. Professional advice is given on foods to avoid. These include cheese and any meat containing nitrites.

Research proves that pain is alleviated by the administration of spinal adjustments. Most clients return periodically to maintain freedom from headaches. Follow-up care at regular intervals can maintain the healthy condition of the spine.
