If
you have a headache, you’re not alone.
Ninety-five
percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or
cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease. More than 250 million work days are lost each
year due to headache at a cost of 25 billion dollars per year.
Correct
the underlying cause of the headache!! What do I mean by this? At Mtn Island
Chiropractic Dr. Knutson wants to help you find and remove the cause of your
headache. Millions of Americans go to the hospital each year looking for a
solution to solve their headache. They either give you some pills or schedule
you for MRI/CT which can costs thousands. It is said that 1 in 12,000 patients
with a headache has a problem that will show up on these invasive tests!!!!! But
1/3 of all patients have had one if not both these tests. Why? They haven’t
taken the time to correct the underlying cause! A headache is your body's way
of signaling you that something is not right. Some of the milder headaches are
the result of occasional "morning after" problems brought on by excess
smoking, drinking or eating. Others may be the indirect symptom of eye strain,
improper diet, hunger, poor lighting, excessive noise, constipation, foul air,
daily pressures or infection, to name a few. In rare cases, headaches can be
attributed to organic conditions such as brain tumors or diabetes. Our
examination process helps identify the most likely cause, a simply structural
imbalance at the base of you skull. With precision measurements and light touch
Dr. Knutson want to remove any vascular, muscular, nerve and/or structural
interference with the brain and find the cause of your headache not cover up
the symptoms.
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.
Also,
a 1995 study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics
found that spinal manipulative therapy is an effective treatment for tension
headaches and that those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks
experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in contrast with those patients who
received a commonly prescribed medication.
