Although headaches are not caused by just one source, a growing body of research clearly demonstrates that a majority of headaches are caused by problems in the cervical spine. The vertebra of the cervical spine can become misaligned because of excessive or repetitive stress. These misalignments irritate the nerves in the neck and cause muscle tension all of which can contribute to a variety of headaches.
Current theories suggest that a central nervous system dysfunction is involved in the initiation of migraine headaches, with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system.
Chiropractic adjustments of the cervical spine were found to be superior in terms of reducing tension headache frequency, intensity, and also improving the functional status of patients when compared to standard medical treatments.
Cervical spinal adjustments are associated with significant improvement in headache outcomes in trials involving patients with neck pain and or neck dysfunction and headaches.
