Headaches affect a broad spectrum of the population. There are many classes of headaches and the most important challenge is to correctly diagnose the cause and type of headache. Headaches can result from cervical spine joint complex dysfunction, vascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, brain tumors, and trauma. Headaches are responsible for more than 18 million annual office visits in the US . The Nuprin Report has documented that 156 million full-time work days are lost each year at a projected cost of 25 billion dollars in lost productivity. Currently headaches are the most common reason for using over the counter analgesic medications.

At Alternative Health & Healing Center we take a more conservative approach to headache management. A combination of accurate diagnoses coupled with the reduction or elimination of triggers is the cornerstone to any treatment regimen. This foundation is then used in conjunction with spinal manipulative therapy for the correction of subluxation to influence the neurological and structural components of the spinal cord. Many times digestive problems as well as nutritional imbalances can contribute to the severity of the headaches. With an accurate diagnosis and implementation of a comprehensive treatment plan, patients experience a decrease in symptoms or complete eradication of headaches. In over 25 years of clinical experience we have yet to treat a patient with headaches we didn't improve.
