Memphis TN, 18-JULY-2013 – Memphis Chiropractic Neurology and Dr. Michael Bibb, DC, DACNB, Memphis chiropractor are pleased to announce that the combination of chiropractics and neurology is effective against the pain of tension headaches. Approximately three out of every four headaches are classified as tension-type headache. The most common cause of this type of headache is subluxations in the upper back and neck, especially the upper neck, usually in combination with active trigger points.
According to Dr. Michael Bibb, DC DACNB, Memphis chiropractor, "Sufferers describe a tension headache as a constant dull, achy feeling either on one side or both sides of the head. It may be defined as a feeling of a tight band or dull ache around the head or behind the eyes. They usually begin slowly and gradually, often at the middle or end of the day. The pain can last for minutes or days. Tension headaches are often the result of stress or bad posture, which stresses the spine and muscles in the upper back and neck."
"Each individual's case is different and requires a thorough evaluation before a proper course of chiropractic care can be determined, " he explains further. "In most cases of tension headaches, significant improvement is accomplished through manipulation of the upper two cervical vertebrae, coupled with adjustments to the junction between the cervical and thoracic spine. Numerous research studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments are very effective for treating tension headaches, especially headaches that originate in the neck."
The doctor recommends that patients avoid headache triggers, which can include stress, as well as hormonal levels, certain foods, odors and weather conditions. Before consulting a chiropractor for headache pain solutions, it may be helpful to maintain a headache diary. There are emotional factors which can be a trigger. Avoidance of nitrite compounds, monosodium glutamate and tyramine may also be helpful in reducing the severity, frequency and duration of tension headaches.
