August is Headache awareness month at Montpelier Family Chiropractic
There are many different types of headaches. Some of the more common types are: tension, sinus, and migraines. What type of headache you have will determine how it is treated. We know from your perspective what matters is you hurt and you want relief. Our focus is to ease your pain as quickly and safely as we can.
Pain relievers may be convenient in easing pain, but they simply mask the symptoms and don’t address what may be the root cause of your headache. Factors in a headache can include physical trauma, emotional and/or mental stress, eye strain, nutritional deficiencies, environmental stressors or chemical toxins. Sometimes a combination of these factors can be responsible for your headache.
We will take several approaches to the treatment of your headache. Chiropractic will work to realign your cervical column. Subluxations in this area can produce what feels like a tension headache. Massage will be used to address muscular tension and sinus pressure. Pressure points can be activated to help relieve pain and pressure. Nutritional supplements can aid in deficiencies and we can guide you in determining what toxins may be present that are factors in your headaches. We also have essential oils available that can be helpful in relieving your tension and pain.
At Montpelier Family Chiropractic we will not tell you “take 2 aspirin and call us in the morning”. We will work with you to resolve your headaches so you can live the way everyone deserves to live – pain free.
