Most Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Murfreesboro headache. It’s a condition from which many people suffer. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are a couple of the more commonly discussed types. The cervicogenic headache is linked to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is linked to the muscles of the neck caused by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache forms are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Most Chiropractic Clinic.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is reported as the second most common health concern around the world. A new review of published papers for its treatment found that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for decreasing headache frequency, improving quality of life, reducing pain intensity, and decreasing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Murfreesboro chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A current study described how researchers used diagnostic block testing to find the cervical spine joint source of the headache. Overall, the C2-3 level was the most common source. In patients whose chief complaint was headache more than neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. In patients whose neck pain was greater than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Murfreesboro headache patient must experience this type of procedure to be helped, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to help make a diagnosis and treat headache patients in a better way.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was employed often to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, supplied superior, small, short term benefits for reducing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual treatment. (3) One relieving treatment referred to as SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been explained in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers explained how SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability decrease and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy approaches like this benefit headache. Most Chiropractic Clinic uses Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Murfreesboro headache and neck pain.
