- There are many different types of headaches that people needlessly suffer from. Though there are many unique factors about headaches, there is a common theme: they cause pain.
- Determining which type of headache, a patient is suffering from the first step. Some severe symptoms may be caused by an underlying health condition that might be overlooked or completely unknown to the patient.
- Many headaches are caused by an issue in the cervical spine. As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, Dr. Lea is well positioned to treat these specific headaches by addressing the underlying cause. A correction to the cranio-cervical junction (upper cervical spine) is gentle, safe, yet highly effective. There is never any twisting, cracking, popping, or snapping of the neck at Crossroads Brain & Spine.
- Headaches that are caused by a biomechanical distortion of the cervical spine respond quite favorably to upper cervical care. By restoring proper motion of the spine and neurologic integrity, the patient can return to activities of daily living unlike before. If headaches directly correlated with abnormal spinal function, non-surgical spinal decompression can be an effective treatment based on the restoring of spinal curves and rehydration of the intervertebral discs.
