It’s holiday season. This means over-packed schedules, cutting back on sleep, and overindulging in all the goodies this season has to offer. Unfortunately, this also means putting more stress on our bodies than usual – often resulting in the dreaded headache.

And suffering from pain in the head, can be the ultimate pain in the neck.

At any time in the year, however, you may find yourself suffering from headaches. Lifestyle factors, stress levels, and the overall health of our nervous system all play a large part in determining whether or not you’ll be feeling the sometimes debilitating pain of a headache. Even subtle headache pain can start to take its toll when it becomes chronic, and there is nothing worse than relying on pain relief medication to deal with your headache pain.

Why?

Because at Dr. Gena Chiropractic, we like to get to the root of your headache pain, and Dr. Gena has become proficient in working with clients suffering from headache pain in the south Florida area.

Why treat the pain, when you can eliminate it at its source…

…to help you reduce your likelihood of headache pain and migraines!

The headache issue has become one of major concern for us at Dr. Gena Chiropractic, because a recently alarming statistic showed that 9 out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches. That means way too many people are dealing with this kind of pain, and we are proud to offer strategies to help you reduce your likelihood of headache pain.

According to a 2014 report in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT), “interventions commonly used in chiropractic care for headaches improved outcomes for the treatment of acute and chronic neck pain. Also, a 2011 JMPT study found that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, improves migraine and cervicogenic headaches.”

Headaches are caused in different people for different reasons. Some of the leading causes of headache pain include triggers such as:

  • Certain foods
  • Dehydration
  • Environmental stimuli
  • Blood sugar issues
  • Insomnia
  • Excessive Exercise
  • Poor sleep habits

Any headaches not caused by these factors are typically categorized as cluster, migraine, tension, or primary headaches. And because more and more of us are hunched over in front of a computer screen for most of our day, or texting and scrolling away on our little screens for hours, much of our headache pain is being attributed to neck pain and muscle tension.

So how can chiropractic care help headache pain?

Dr. Gena will perform chiropractic adjustments to improve the way your brain and nervous system communicates, which will ultimately improve spinal function and alleviate any extra stress on your nervous system. Because of Dr. Gena’s well-rounded approach to feeling your best, she will also provide tips and strategies to avoid triggers, such as a potential change in diet, the inclusion of stretching or posture correcting exercises, and of course, following a chiropractic care plan that is modified for your needs.
