In traditional medicine, most headaches are attended by the person taking pharmaceutical products to ease or eliminate the pain. There are many potential risks and issues associated with this approach so some individuals seek out safer alternatives. A Cambridge chiropractor has a cache of techniques and methods at their disposal that can provide relief naturally.

Pharmaceutical drugs taken for headache pain typically do nothing more than deliver a few hours of temporary relief, without any intent to correct the problem. Both prescription grade and over the counter medications are known to generally cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, liver damage and more. This results in the individual taking additional medicines to address the new issues which is a cycle that continues to spiral.

Every day, more people choose to get off of the pharmaceutical carousel and begin seeking natural alternatives. In chiropractic care, there are multiple techniques of that sort which are safe and non invasive. These doctors neither recommend or prescribe any form of drug therapy to mask or alleviate their patient's headache discomfort.

Though headaches can be caused by many different things, subluxations in the spine are among the more common contributors. This is when one or more vertebrae in the upper portion of one's spinal column are pushed out of their proper alignment. Circumstances such as these result in multiple issues.

When the vertebrae, or spinal joints, are lined up in the correct manner, a person's neck bends and twists comfortably as intended. The neural network which runs down the center of these bones is protected and can transmit signals between the brain, muscles, tissue and organs without disruption. However, when sections of the spine are twisted or misaligned, movement is restricted, nerves may be constricted.

The primary corrective approach is to do a manual adjustment of the spine to put the bones back into place. Other methods and techniques may be used along with, or instead of the realignment. The doctor will assess each case independently as every patient and their pain is unique.
