Nearly half of the population experiences headaches, and an estimated 25% are cervicogenic headaches, which means they are stemming from dysfunction in the cervical spine. While often overlooked, cervicogenic headaches can be just as debilitating as migraines, especially when compounded by cervical spine dysfunction. But good thing you've got Hendricks Chiropractic to help you out!
Just this month, a comprehensive meta-analysis of 41 randomized controlled trials on cervicogenic headache confirmed that multimodal, NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL treatment approaches demonstrated the greatest overall effectiveness for managing cervicogenic headache. Treatment combinations that included manual therapy produced the largest reductions in headache intensity, headache frequency, and headache-related disability, outperforming pharmacologic treatments!
