| Headaches and Migraines |
The ache in headache does not come from your
brain - your brain cannot feel pain. During brain
surgery, a patient is often wide awake and feeling
nothing, even talking to the surgeons and nurses
while his/her brain is being operated on (a local
anesthetic numbs the scalp). So what puts the
"ache" in headache? It's the non -brain
structures: blood vessels, membranes, and
cranial nerves. When these structures are
stretched, compressed, irritated, inflamed, or
infected, headaches often result.

The Chiropractic Approach
Why do millions of headache sufferers turn to the natural, drug-free chiropractic
approach to health?
That's because chiropractic has a unique healing approach - chiropractors are the
only health professionals trained to analyze your body for a serious and often
ignored condition that can damage your nerves, cause tissue inflammation, cause
muscles to tighten and knot, weaken your body, cause fatigue, and set the stage
for sickness and disease. This condition is called the vertebral subluxation.
Just as you may have a cavity in your tooth and be unaware of the damage it is
causing, so can the subluxation be causing serious harm to your body - sometimes
for years - without your knowledge.
What exactly is a subluxation? It is a tiny distortion or misalignment in your spine
that stresses your nervous system, the system that controls your body. What
causes the subluxation? Any physical or emotional stress that your body cannot
withstand can cause your spine to develop a subluxation.
Why Does Chiropractic Work So Well?
Why has chiropractic been a blessing to so many headache sufferers? The reason
may be that most headache sufferers appear to have a subluxation. For example,
one study of 6,000 long-term headache sufferers (two to 25 years) revealed that
neck injury (whiplash, falls) was the most important factor in the cause of the
headache and should be suspected in every nonspecific case of headache.
