Mercer Island Chiropractic Relieves Headaches in Washington State

Headaches are a debilitating pain ailment for millions of people and are often recurrent. Are you looking for a more natural alternative to over-the-counter drug medications that can alleviate your headaches? Chiropractic treatment is your answer.

What Triggers Your Headache?

The reason for a headache can be eyestrain, sinus congestion, muscular tension, vascular changes and numerous other underlying causes. The pain can begin in the back of the head, on the sides or top of the head, over the eyes or centered behind the eyes. The main thing all these headaches have in common is they hurt and sometimes they hurt significantly. The volume of pain may range from a mild ache to an excruciating, nauseating, constant pain.

Fortunately many Kent patients have found lasting comfort from headache pain through chiropractic treatment. A large amount of research has proven chiropractic can properly cure primary headaches. Frequently we see three types of headaches in our Mercer Island Chiropractic office: tension headaches, migraine headaches and cervicogenic headaches. Cervicogenic headaches are caused by pain directed to the head from the bony or soft tissues of your neck.

Why is a Washington State Chiropractor Advantageous for Your Headache?

At Mercer Island Chiropractic we have experienced exceptional success in relaxing the of many headaches. Our Kent, WA clinic offers a safe, drug-free, effective care that can prevent and eliminate your headache. Prescription and over-the-counter drug medications may control your headache pain, but they only hide the pain without addressing the cause. Headache medications may also have side effects, even more so with long-term use. However, chiropractic care is a natural, holistic treatment because it focuses on understanding and treating the root cause of your headache pain. Most important, chiropractic care offers a long-term solution rather than merely addressing the symptoms of your underlying condition.

Chiropractic adjustments combined with other therapies such as massage can realign the skeleton and release muscular tension to end the cycle of pain. Often patients with chronic headaches will find relief through chiropractic in just a few treatments as muscles relax and nerve irritation is reduced. Once the cause of your pain is resolved, there is no need to keep taking medication or even continue with your treatment!
