How a We Treats Chronic Headaches
Do you struggle through life with chronic, debilitating headaches? A Tualatin chiropractor can help you find relief.
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic headaches and migraines. Headaches can impact your quality of life, reducing your ability to work productively and efficiently and putting a damper on the activities that bring you joy.
Thankfully, with chiropractic headache treatment, you can get fast, safe, long-lasting relief.
5 Reasons to Choose Chiropractic Headache Treatment in Tualatin
Dr. Daniel Lujan D.C. and Joshua Pettigrew D.C. have years of experience helping members of their community get out of pain. Here are five reasons why you should consider scheduling an appointment with them.
1. Get Relief Fast
Spinal misalignment caused by accident, wear and tear, poor posture, or a sedentary lifestyle can cause pain, including headaches.
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, thereby relieving muscle tension, as well as pressure on various joints (including the temporomandibular jaw joint). Less tension means relief from nerve compression, inflammation, and pain. And most patients feel relief after their first adjustment.
2. Prevent Long-Term Damage
If you've sustained an injury like whiplash, scar tissue will build up. Without treatment, excess scar tissue (which is less flexible than skin and muscle tissue) can reduce your range of motion and flexibility. It can cause nerve compression and long-term pain.
Chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy can break up the scar tissue and prevent long-term damage and pain.
3. Learn How to Prevent Headaches
Your Tualatin chiropractic team can recommend lifestyle changes, such as daily exercises, stretches, and workplace ergonomic changes, that can help prevent headaches.
4. A Multi-Therapy Approach
Instead of only providing one treatment, your chiropractor takes a multi-tiered approach. They'll recommend adjustments, as well as other services:
- Massage therapy
- Ultrasound
- Heat therapy
- Muscle stimulation
Adjustments promote optimal spinal alignment. Massage therapy reduces muscle tension. Each therapy has its uses, and by using them in conjunction, your chiropractor can provide rapid, long-term results.
5. Less Need for Pain Medications
Pain relief is a multibillion-dollar industry because so many people suffer from chronic pain, such as headaches.
Unfortunately, many of these medications are addictive or pose serious threats to the health of organs, like your liver and kidneys.
With regular chiropractic treatment, you can reduce or even eliminate your need for prescription or over-the-counter pain medications.
Get a Second Opinion from a Tualatin Chiropractor
It isn't uncommon for patients with chronic pain to see their primary care physician. To ease their pain, their doctor may recommend trying prescription pain medications and muscle relaxants. They may also recommend various diagnostic tests and a visit to a specialist, such as a chiropractor.
Before deciding on a particular treatment plan, get a second opinion. Talk to your Tualatin chiropractor to see if the pain you're experiencing is related to anything they can treat. You may find that your chiropractor has a less invasive, safe, natural way to treat your pain successfully!
