Often the only thing medicine offers for a headache is pills. For those with chronic headaches, it can seem that they are spending a lot of time popping pills, which may have side effects, and spending a small fortune for temporary relief. In some cases, the trigger for the headache is known - it could be stress, caffeine, insomnia, etc. In others it might seem that the headaches come out of nowhere.

A lot of headaches, in fact the majority, are actually caused by tension in the neck. This can be caused by stress as well as by sitting in the same position for too long, especially with poor posture. This is where a Seattle chiropractor comes in.

Misalignment and subluxations affecting the neck can be relieve by a chiropractor, along with headaches and balance issues - which will greatly reduce the rate at which your headaches occur.

Another thing that a chiropractor might do is to prescribe massage therapy for alleviating tension in the muscles and neck and for alleviating the stress and anxiety that may be the source of your tension. Your provider will help you improve you posture and will share stretches and exercises for limiting neck tension, improving your range of motion and lessening the frequency of your headaches. May of these strategies are even effective for addressing cluster headaches and migraine headaches.

Top chiropractors may even be able to share nutritional advice for reducing heading and eliminating specific food triggers.

If you have chronic headaches that are not responding to anything and are tired of popping pills, lying in dark rooms or just trying to function with the pain, then contact a chiropractor for a consultation. They might be able to offer you long term relief for your stubborn headaches and help you to better overall balance and health.
