Many people suffer with headache pain, and tension headaches are a routine problem in our busy lives. Postural problems and stress are common sources of tension headache pain and ones that Blake Chiropractic & Rehabilitation and the personnel here in our Harrisburg chiropractic office have a lot of experience in treating.
The scientific literature verifies our results: A 2016 study from Spain treated a group of 76 patients with chronic tension headaches. The participants were divided into four treatment groups: 19 patients were treated with suboccipital inhibition (the therapist presses on the tight tissues at the top of the spine); 19 with chiropractic adjustments; 19 with both adjustments and suboccipital inhibition; and 19 received no treatment.
The authors reported that the spinal adjustments were helpful at relieving pain, and that the best results were found when adjustments were combined with the suboccipital inhibition.
When we get stressed out, the nerves and tissues in the neck can be disrupted, causing pain. Chiropractic works by eliminating these stresses and restoring the normal nerve function to the tissues.
