Relief From Tension Headaches With Chiropractic Treatment in Falls Church & Mosaic District

Chiropractic Falls Church VA Headaches

Tension headaches in Falls Church & Mosaic District are usually described as dull tight pain across the forehead. They can vary in intensity and frequency but generally they are most common type of headache. Causes of tension headaches are unknown however they tend to be triggered by fatigue, lack of sleep, anxiety, stress, hunger, exercise and poor posture.

Many people suffering from tension headaches rely on pain medications such as over the counter Ibuprofen and Acetominophen and other prescription drugs. When taken regularly, pain medications lose their effectiveness and can cause gastrointestinal problems.

Chiropractic care offers safe relief from tension headaches that are caused by tight muscles and poor posture. Bad posture and tight muscles can cause misalignments in the vertebrae of the cervical and thoracic spine. In turn, the misaligned vertebrae can press on spinal nerves exiting at different spinal levels causing painful chronic headaches.  A chiropractic adjustment can relief pain by restoring alignment to the spine and releasing nerve pressure.

Studies have shown that upper cervical misalignments are associated with tension headaches and respond favorably to treatment.
