Do you suffer from long-term chronic headaches or migraines? If you are constantly taking pain relief medications for headaches and they are not getting any better, it is time to take a new approach to your health care.
Chiropractic care for headache and migraine pain has been widely researched for many years. Many fantastic results have been shown to improving headache symptoms in long-term sufferers. A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.
Taking too many medications for headaches may be unsafe for long term usage. Several over-the-counter medications are most commonly taken for headache and migraine pain, but may cause dangerous side effects when taken for long periods of time. Even small amounts of aspirin can cause bleeding or in some cases internal hemorrhage. Acetaminophen, a common ingredient in migraine medications, may cause liver damage in those taking more than the recommended dose. Long-term use of ibuprofen and other NSAID classified medications can increase your risk of stomach disorders or even life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. Natural health care alternatives are recommended to help manage headache pain in chronic sufferers to minimize the usage of medications.
