Is your Headache a pain in your NECK?

Research Proves Every Headache is connected to the Neck

Chiropractors help millions of people overcome pain and suffering from headaches every day. Spinal adjustments provide a healthy alternative to the use of drugs or surgery. Many people remain unaware of the alternative approach and benefits available through Chiropractic adjustments. These same people find themselves consuming dangerous chemicals to deal with painful symptoms rather than ever addressing the cause of headaches and other ailments. Today’s research reveals that the root cause of most headaches begins with understanding the characteristics simplifies the pursuit of finding a solution.

Brain tissue does not cause a headaches pain. The main culprits of headache pain stems from changes in muscle function, nerve receptors, and blood vessels. Humans never actually feel their actual brain. The lack of sensation explains why neurosurgeons operate on brain tissue without ever causing a patient to feel discomfort. Some cases even exist where doctors perform surgery while the patient remains awake! Headache pain does not stem from the brain, but rather from nerves, blood vessels, and tiny muscles sending altered feedback into the brain. Those messages produce the perception of pain.

A study produced in the mid-1990’s revolutionized headache research. A Russian-born researcher named Dr Nikoli Bogduk determined that all headaches shared a relationship with the neck. Dr. Bogduk noted that every single headache sufferer shared an important connection, abnormal nerve function in the upper neck. Dr. Bogduk embarked on years of study and published numerous findings that proved the connection. The unfortunate state of health care over 25 years later finds that despite massive amounts of research, the medical community remains largely focused on drug therapy that targets symptoms without ever addressing the pain source.
The three most common types of headaches include tension headaches, sinus headaches, and migraines. Chiropractors help people with all types of headaches by assessing and correcting misalignments and restrictions in the spine and upper neck. The science and research of natural healing began validating this healthy alternative many years ago and millions seek Chiropractic care as their primary care provider for correcting the cause of headache pain.

Statistics show that over 16 percent of the population suffers from frequent and recurring headaches. The drugless solution to reducing the stress and pain of headaches exists in the scientific explanation that brings relief to so many people through the power of proper nervous system function found in Chiropractic care.

Leeks - Did you know?

With their unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, the allium vegetables belong in your diet on a regular basis. There's research evidence for including at least one serving of an allium vegetable in your meal plan every day. If you're choosing leeks, make your individual portion 1/2 cup or greater, and try to include at least one cup of chopped leeks in your recipes. Many people are unfamiliar with how to cook leeks or how to include them in a Healthiest Way of Eating.

THE BENEFITS OF A BAMBOO PILLOW

Bamboo is an incredibly strong and flexible plant, but many people do not initially understand how bamboo can be used to make some of the softest, most comfortable pillows on the market. Neither a standard pillow stuffed with bamboo pieces nor a pillow formed from hard layers of bamboo, bamboo pillows are instead specially treated to become extremely pliant threads and then woven into one of the world’s most sustainable and hypo-allergenic textiles. THE BENEFITS OF A BAMBOO PILLOW Bamboo fabrics and bedding material, including pillows, have become extremely popular in recent years. Any textile made from bamboo has a number of benefits over other types of organic material, including: Bamboo thrives without pesticides or chemical treatments, so all bamboo fabrics are naturally organic. As a hearty plant, bamboo contains natural elements which are anti-bacterial. Bamboo fabric absorbs sweat readily, making bamboo pillows naturally temperature controlled. Bamboo pillows ar...

GETTING READY TO ROCK?

July sees the start of a summer of festivals across the UK and Europe. Ensure you are back pain free for the festivals season this summer. Appealing to young and old, they focus on food and other activities as well as music; something for everyone. If a festival is on your agenda for this summer, it is important to take care of your back so you can maximise the fun. Many festival-goers just go for the day and some will choose to camp overnight but all will be sitting or sleeping on hard surfaces, carrying bags/rucksacks and standing for hours on end.  Tim Hutchful, British Chiropractic Association (BCA) chiropractor, concludes that, although we all want to have fun, it is also important to remain level-headed and switched on to potential risks: “We all love the chance to let our hair down, but this shouldn’t be at the expense of our health. Simple things, such as remaining on the edge of a boisterous crowd or warming up slightly before dancing can help festival-goers to a...
