When headaches are severe they can interfere with a persons concentration. Often, they cause employees to miss work. It is too difficult to focus when you are suffering from a headache. There is help available in a chiropractors office and one method of care is the Long Island Active Release Technique.

In order to qualify to use this technique a chiropractor must learn more than 500 protocols. According to ART theory tension, pressure and motion are combined to force tissue and muscle to work properly. The first task is to identify the cause of headaches if possible.

In the case of a migraine, the cause is still unconfirmed. In addition to excruciating hurt, they make the sufferer nauseous and sometimes he or she will vomit. Work is impossible while one of these is in effect. Research is being conducted to find a way to combat the pain and illness of these headaches.

They occur at random and are unpredictable. Sometimes there will be one a month and other times three in a week. Scientists are still researching to find out what causes them and how to more successfully relieve the pain.

Spinal adjustments are used to ease the pain of tension headaches. They may be successful when the vertebrae are misaligned. If tight muscles are causing the hurt, massaging the neck and shoulders can provide relief. Adjustments and massage can be provided in a series of office visits.

Attention is given to the entire body rather than just the head and neck. ART sees the body as a whole unit rather than individual parts.

Many individuals choose chiropractic care because they do not want to take prescription or over-the-counter pain medication. With chiropractic there is no danger of being addicted. ART is provided for the employees at some large companies. It is cost effective since workmans compensation expenses are reduced. When headache pain is alleviated, employees are not forced to miss work because of headaches.
