Headache Treatment
Visit Your San Diego Chiropractor for Natural Treatment for Headaches
At some point in life, you will probably suffer some type of headache. Most people with headaches reach for the OTC or prescription painkillers, but these don’t solve the underlying reason for the tension, migraine or cluster headaches-they just temporarily dampen pain signals to the brain. Worse still, these painkillers end up causing unwanted, unhealthy side effects without resulting in long-term pain relief. If you live with headaches in San Diego, chiropractor Dr. Herfindahl provides natural, effective treatment that can make them go away for good!
Where do Headaches Come From?
- Tension – The most common; causes dull, tight pain across the head; often stretches into the neck. Can stem from spinal misalignments due to injury, poor posture habits and stress.
- Migraines – A neurological disorder that causes severe, throbbing, stabbing pain on one or both sides of the head, often accompanied by dizziness, nausea, extreme sensitivity to lights and sounds and pre-migraine symptoms called an “aura”.
- Cluster – Rare, but horrifyingly painful, cluster headaches are usually centered behind one eye, and come in timed “clusters” often around seasonal changes. They can disappear for years and resurface without warning.
With highly-skilled hands-on or instrument spinal adjustment techniques, spinal decompression, massage therapy, cold laser therapy and other physiotherapy modalities, our chiropractor and his team can help you! Call us in San Diego at 619-295-3885 for an appointment.
Chiropractic Care and Massage Helps End Headache Pain
Regular chiropractic care treats the root causes of headaches to stop the pain and prevent it from returning. Additional natural treatment options can also provide welcome relief:
- Chiropractic Care – Our chiropractor can gently realign the neck vertebrae to release pinched nerves causing the headaches, often leading to immediate relief while preventing future attacks too.
- Massage Therapy – Massage therapy helps chiropractic adjustments “hold”, reduces tension and stress, and releases pain-relieving endorphins into the system for overall relief.
- Cold Laser Therapy – Cold laser therapy is also successful at relieving headaches, and our chiropractor offers this treatment option to many of our patients.
