Finally, a Permanent Cure for Your Headaches
You undoubtedly have experienced headaches and perhaps even seen a doctor about them. What would you say though, if I told you that everything from a mild sinus headache to a crippling migraine are preventable and the cause is correctable?
Most of us are familiar with the modern medical approach of using medications to treat headaches, but this causes two major problems for you.
- Medications fail to address the cause, and at best cover up the effect. Symptoms like headaches are merely a sign of malfunction in the body. Not correcting the cause of malfunction can only lead to more problems. Recently, a long term outcome study of headaches in children was completed using 11,407 participants. This is the first study to confirm what most of us know, which is that children with headaches do not simply “grow out” of their complaint and may also “grow into” others.
- Although there might be a desired effect (pain goes away), there is also always some kind of side effect whether it is felt or not. Treating pain can be dangerous. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can cause serious side effects such as liver damage. Aspirin is no longer a good choice for headache for children of any age due to the possibility of Reye’s syndrome (may cause death). Even ibuprofen can cause kidney damage in both children and adults.
Improper Alignment Can Cause Headaches
At James Family Chiropractic, we help find and correct the cause of the symptom, not just for symptom relief, but to maximize the health potential of everyone we work with. In the case of headaches we have found the most common cause to be physical stress to the nervous system due improper alignment or function of the spinal column, a condition called vertebral subluxation.
Research published in Spine Journal by the Cervical Spine Research Unit of the University of Newcastle, Australia reported the exact source of headache and neck pain in 60% of participants was the facet joints in the cervical spine. Correcting restricted movement and restoring normal curvature and alignment is the principle target of chiropractic care.
Toxins in Your System?
In addition to physical nerve stress, chemical nerve stress in the form of neurotoxicity can be a major contributor to headaches. There are many neurotoxins, but the modern epidemics that seem to cause the majority of problems are Biotoxins (mold, lyme disease, etc.) and heavy metals such as mercury and lead. We utilize a 3 tier testing process to determine if this is a factor and use proven detox protocols to deal with this common problem.
