Struggling with Headaches in Kelowna?

Headaches are not fun, and migraines are another level of awful. Living with either of these issues can make you feel grumpy and affect your ability to function. Medication may help in the short term, but when the problem is ongoing or re-occurring, pills are generally not enough. The source of your headaches and migraines is often structural, and therefore proper treatment can help you overcome this debilitating issue. Headache relief at our Kelowna chiropractic clinic may be the solution you are looking for.

HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

Whether you are dealing with a persistent ache in your head, or the worst symptoms associated with migraines, including light and noise intolerance, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, depression, and irritation the cause may be a structural issue. When the spine moves out of position because of developmental issues, trauma, repetitive stress, and other incidents, it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves. When the nerves are compressed or irritated, they send a message to the muscles of the back, neck, and jaw to tighten.

This tightness can lead directly to an acute headache or migraine. Over time the tightness can also pull your bones out of alignment leading to more persistent headaches and migraines.

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES
Chiropractic care has a long history of successfully treating headaches and migraines. Chiropractors have an extensive understanding of subtle issues occurring in the spine and nervous system which contribute to, or be the cause of your pain. Chiropractic treatment starts with a thorough orthopedic and neurologic examination to rule out other possible causes of your headache and may include spinal manipulation if indicated.

Using gentle and non-invasive techniques a chiropractor is often able to achieve adjustments to the spine that, although they may seem subtle, may provide almost instant relief and restore your long-term health. Unlike medications which treat the problem on the surface level and provide only short-term relief, a chiropractic adjustment attempts to address the cause of your headache or migraine and often provides lasting results that will improve your quality of life.
