Headaches: Headaches can come in a variety of forms, including migraine, cluster or those related to tension and imbalances in the neck.  They also may be the result of physical or emotional stress, toxicity, blood sugar issues or a chemically related disorder.  In rare cases, they can be a sign of a more serious condition.  Regardless of the cause, every headache sufferer will agree: the pain is unwelcome.  Often, recurring headaches are related to pressure on the roots of the nerves in the neck, nerves that help in regulating the flow of blood to the brain.  Typically, various forms of pain relievers, blood vessel dilators and anti-inflammatory drugs are used to relieve the pain, but if the headaches continue to recur, it’s important to locate their cause and correct it.  Clearly, the body is attempting to let us know that something is amiss.  At Gilbert Chiropractic, we look to see if displacement of the skull or neck vertebrae is in fact affecting the nerves related to the brain’s blood supply.   We then discern the correct procedures to align these areas and teach our patients what they themselves should do to correct any bio mechanical causes of the headaches, so they can fix it themselves without developing a dependence on us.
