As a migraine headache chiropractor based in Sacramento, I am very familiar with headaches and their various forms. Many patients come to my office to get help for their head pain. Headaches are almost inevitable as they develop due to many factors that are sometimes beyond one’s control, such as getting the flu, having stress, or becoming dehydrated. Headaches range from mild aches to severe head pain that can disrupt a patient’s daily activities. 

Care Options for All Types of Headaches

The widely used and go-to solution for many people is an over-the-counter pain medication. Doctors also often recommend patients have a rest in a cool, dark, and quiet room. 

Severe headaches may require prescription medications. However, many headache sufferers do not take them unless the pain is unbearable and recurring, as they are often worried about the unpleasant side effects that come with some medications. Some medications can have harmful effects when taken for an extended period. 

For these reasons, headache patients seek natural and safe options for headache relief. One relief option that has been getting recognition from patients is upper cervical chiropractic care. Let’s look at how effective this unique method is.

Headaches Resolved by Upper Cervical Chiropractic

The C1 and C2 are two vertebrae in the neck, just below the skull. Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on ensuring the proper alignment of these two bones. Misalignment of these two bones can result in the restriction of blood flow and neurological function. Once these occur, it increases anyone’s risk of developing headaches and even migraines.

Here at Body Balance Spinal Care in Sacramento, California, patients with all headache types, from tension headaches to severe migraines, can have hope. As a reliable migraine headache chiropractor based in Sacramento, I examine each patient’s spine thoroughly to locate the exact position of misalignment. This helps determine the root cause of the headache. 

I then employ a method that is both gentle and accurate to bring back the neck bones to their correct positions. Once realigned, healthy blood flow and nervous system function can be restored and headaches can improve or be gone completely. Call (916) 973-0623 to start your upper cervical chiropractic sessions and say goodbye to your headaches.
