***Bed Wetting***
Bed wetting, also known as nighttime incontinence, is involuntary urination while asleep at an age when staying dry at night can be reasonably expected. Most children outgrow bed-wetting on their own. Generally bed-wetting before age seven is not a concern as children may still be developing nighttime bladder control.

Ways to help a child stay dry at night:
-Limit fluids in the evening. It's important to get enough fluids, so there's no need to limit how much your child drinks in a day. However, encourage drinking liquids in the morning and early afternoon, which may reduce thirst in the evening. But don't limit evening fluids if your child participates in sports practice or games in the evenings.
-Avoid beverages and foods with caffeine. Beverages with caffeine are discouraged for children at any time of day. Because caffeine may stimulate the bladder, it's especially discouraged in the evening.
-Encourage double voiding before bed. Double voiding is urinating at the beginning of the bedtime routine and then again just before falling asleep. Remind your child that it's OK to use the toilet during the night if needed. Use small night lights, so your child can easily find the way between the bedroom and bathroom.
-Encourage regular toilet use throughout the day. During the day and evening, suggest that your child urinate every two hours or so, or at least often enough to avoid a feeling of urgency.
-Prevent rashes. To prevent a rash caused by wet underwear, help your child rinse his or her bottom and ge***al area every morning. It also may help to cover the affected area with a protective moisture barrier ointment or cream at bedtime. Ask your pediatrician for product recommendations.

-Be sensitive to your child's feelings. If your child is stressed or anxious, encourage him or her to express those feelings. Offer support and encouragement. When your child feels calm and secure, bed-wetting may become less problematic. If needed, talk to your pediatrician about additional strategies for dealing with stress.
-Plan for easy cleanup. Cover your child's mattress with a plastic cover. Use thick, absorbent underwear at night to help contain the urine. Keep extra bedding and pajamas handy. However, avoid the long-term use of diapers or disposable pull-up underwear.
-Enlist your child's help. If age-appropriate, consider asking your child to rinse his or her wet underwear and pajamas or place these items in a specific container for washing. Taking responsibility for bed-wetting may help your child feel more control over the situation.
-Celebrate effort. Bed-wetting is involuntary, so it doesn't make sense to punish or tease your child for wetting the bed. Also, discourage siblings from teasing the child who wets the bed. Instead, praise your child for following the bedtime routine and helping clean up after accidents. Use a sticker reward system if you think this might help motivate your child.

Chiropractic care can help the nerves that control the organs of the urinary system function better.

*** Lumbago ***

Lumbago means low back pain. Pain can be mild or severe, and acute or chronic. Acute pain is pain that occurs suddenly and changes rapidly. Chronic pain is pain that persists for months, even years.

There are numerous causes for low back pain:
-overuse of low back
-sudden lifting of a heavy load
-excessive bending or repetitive movement involving the low back
-Herniated Disc (sometimes called a slipped disc)
-Osteoarthritis or Spondylosis (spinal arthritis)
-Osteoporosis (brittle bone disease, spinal fracture)
-Rheumatoid Arthritis (progressive, sometimes destructive arthritis)
-Scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine to the left or right)
-Spinal Stenosis (compression of the spinal nerves)
-Spinal Tumor (benign or malignant/cancer)

The primary symptom is low back pain. Other common symptoms:
-radiating pain
-aggravated during movement- bending for example
-muscle spasms causing to feel stiff and sore up to affecting posture
-tingling sensations in low back, buttocks, and legs

Rare symptoms of lumbago that require immediate medical care:
-loss of bladder control or bowel movement
-leg numbness
-loss of strength

Treatment for Lumbago:
-anti-inflammatories for temporary pain relief
-hot or cold compresses
-exercise and gentle stretches
-yoga
-acupuncture
-chiropractic & spinal manipulation
-physical therapy
-surgery

A chiropractor can perform a series of adjustments to properly align the bones, ligaments, and tendons in the back to treat lumbago.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone (mandible) to your skull. There is a joint on each side of your jaw. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.

Signs and Symptoms may include:
-Pain or tenderness of your jaw
-Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints
-Aching pain in and around your ear
-Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
-Aching facial pain
-Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
-Clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew

Causes of TMJ disorders:
-The disk erodes or moves out of its proper alignment
-The joint's cartilage is damaged by arthritis
-The joint is damaged by a blow or other impact
-sometimes the cause is not clear

Risk Factors of TMJ disorders:
-Various types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
-Jaw injury
-Long-term (chronic) grinding or clenching of teeth
-Certain connective tissue diseases that cause problems that may affect the temporomandibular joint

Nondrug Therapies for treatment of TMJ disorders:
-Oral splints or mouth guards (occlusal appliances). Often, people with jaw pain will benefit from wearing a soft or firm device inserted over their teeth, but the reasons why these devices are beneficial are not well-understood.
-Physical therapy. Along with exercises to stretch and strengthen jaw muscles, treatments might include ultrasound, moist heat and ice.
-Counseling. Education and counseling can help you understand the factors and behaviors that may aggravate your pain, so you can avoid them. Examples include teeth clenching or grinding, leaning on your chin, or biting fingernails.
-Chiropractic adjustments from a chiropractor can resolve TMJ pain stemming from poor jaw alignment, stress, grinding teeth (bruxism), and jaw injury. The sessions will also relieve neck pain, tension, headaches, and cavitations (cracking and popping sounds)

Some cases of TMJ pain result from excess physical and mental strain. Stressed nerves and tense muscles can benefit from adjustments and massage therapy performed by a qualified chiropractor. The treatment targets all muscles and nerves around the jaw, facial area, neck, shoulders, and back.
Chiropractors can release trapped nerves, relieve muscle tension, and address neck and spine dysfunction. The treatment also prevents swelling and promotes blood circulation to the jaw muscles. After completing a full treatment plan, pain and pressure around the jaw and neck area should be gone.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), more commonly known as TMJ is a blanket term for acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (which is what connects your mandible (jaw) to your skull). TMJ refers to a wide variety of conditions that affect TM joints, jaw muscles, and facial nerves. Chiropractors can manipulate the muscles and bones of the jaw to restore proper jaw function.

**Mobility**

Mobility is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Life consists of movement. Joint mobility in an important part of a healthy and functioning body. If joints are not moving as they should, other parts of the body with compensate. This causes extra, unnecessary stress on those parts of the body, which in turn causes pain and inflammation. When normal movement isn’t possible, that pain will only worsen as muscles in the area become tight, causing tendons and ligaments to shorten and stick together. Remember: motion is lotion.

The bones and joints of the spine exist to move while protecting the spinal cord. The spine consists of approximately 40% of joints in the body. Chiropractic care ensures that every joint is aligned and moving optimally.

Our bodies were made to move and when we don’t move, stretch, and exercise, we stiffen up. It is important to move, stretch, and exercise to keep the muscles and tendons strong and flexible. Your chiropractor can give you proper exercises and stretches to do to keep your spine in prime condition.

Colic is when a healthy baby cries for extended period of time and for no obvious reason. It is most common in the first six weeks of life and usually goes away on its own at three or four months.

It is considered colic when a baby’s crying:
-lasts for more than three hours per day
-happens more than three days a week
-occurs for more than 3 weeks

Colic begins suddenly when the baby starts crying loudly, nonstop. The constant, extreme crying can be very stressful and difficult for parents. Babies with colic are fussy, gassy, and don’t sleep well.

While the cause of colic is unknown, there are a few theories:

Some babies are more sensitive and have more trouble adjusting to the world. After a baby is born, it must get used to new things around such as lights or sounds. Babies have different personalities, or temperaments. Some can handle the changes well, while others have a harder time adapting. Crying is a way of showing his or her feelings while getting used to the world.

Some babies are more sensitive to stimulation, and are unable to self-soothe. Their nervous system is still developing. As they grow and their nervous system matures, they are better able to calm themselves.

Symptoms that babies with colic show are:
-Burping often or passing a lot of gas. This is likely because of swallowing air while crying. It doesn’t cause colic.
-Having a bright red (flushed) face
-Having a tight belly
-Curling up their legs toward their belly when crying
-Clenching their fists when crying

Living with colicky baby:
Having a colicky baby can be very stressful for parents. It can make you feel tired, guilty, and even depressed. Your baby's healthcare provider can suggest some things to do that may help to calm your baby. It’s important to know that colic is a common condition in young babies. It will go away on its own, often by age 3 months. In most cases it is gone by age 6 months.

If possible, have someone else watch your baby when you become stressed. If no one else is available, make sure your baby is safe and go into another room. Distract yourself from your baby's cries. Crying will not hurt your baby.

Babies have extremely loose muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and their spinal column is supported by all of these soft tissues. Vertebrae can very easily get twisted, turned, or shifted slightly out of alignment in babies, particularly during the birthing process. How babies sleep, how they are held, and even how they sit in a car seat can have an impact on their spinal alignment that can bring about problems like colic. A chiropractor will realign the babies spine and can reduce symptoms.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of symptoms women get a week or two before their period. For some, symptoms are so severe they miss work or school, and for others have milder symptoms. PMS likely comes in the days after ovulation because of falling estrogen and progesterone levels. As hormone levels begin rising again, PMS symptoms usually go away.
PMS occurs more in women who have higher levels of stress, have a family history of depression, and a personal history of depression. As a woman reaches late 30s or 40s and begins the transition to menopause, she may become more sensitive to hormone level changes. PMS stops after menopause when a woman no longer gets a period.

Physical Symptoms of PMS can include:
-Swollen or tender breasts
-Constipation or diarrhea
-Bloating or a gassy feeling
-Cramping
-Headache or backache
-Clumsiness
-Lower tolerance for noise or light

Emotional or mental symptoms of PMS include:
-Irritability or hostile behavior
-Feeling tired
-Sleep problems (sleeping too much or too little)
-Appetite changes or food cravings
-Trouble with concentration or memory
-Tension or anxiety
-Depression, feelings of sadness, or crying spells
-Mood swings

These tips will help you be healthier in general, and may relieve some of your PMS symptoms.
-Get regular aerobic physical activity throughout the month. Exercise can help with symptoms such as depression, difficulty concentrating, and fatigue.
-Choose healthy foods most of the time. Avoiding foods and drinks with caffeine, salt, and sugar in the two weeks before your period may lessen many PMS symptoms. Learn more about healthy eating for women.
-Get enough sleep. Try to get about eight hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep is linked to depression and anxiety and can make PMS symptoms such as moodiness worse.
-Find healthy ways to cope with stress. Talk to your friends or write in a journal. Some women also find yoga, massage, or meditation helpful.
-Don’t smoke. In one large study, women who smoked reported more PMS symptoms and worse PMS symptoms than women who did not smoke.

PMS can be made worse by subluxations of the low back.
Although chiropractic care cannot fix the way your body responds to the hormonal changes that precede menstruation, several studies have shown that it can help decrease many of the symptoms of PMS without the potential side effects of prescription drugs.

*** Range of Motion ***

Range of Motion (ROM) means how far and in what direction you can move a joint or muscle. Each person is different, but there are numerical values for “normal” range of motion.

ROM may be limited by:
-Arthritis, including osteoarthritis, adult or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis
-Cerebral palsy
-Muscular dystrophy
-Volkmann contracture (injury to muscles of the forearm, causing muscles to shorten)
-Dupuytren’s contracture (thickening of the tissue layer under the skin of the hands and wrist)
-Conge***al torticollis (tight, short neck muscle)
-Stroke or brain injury
ROM is measured using a goniometer. 3 types of ROM are measured: active, passive, and active-assist.

Active Range of Motion (AROM) measures ROM without assistance, using muscles to move the desired joint.

Passive Range of Motion (PROM) measures ROM through an outside force, someone else moving the joint to maximum capacity without assistance from you. Often used after injury or surgery in early stages of recovery to prevent contractures, pressure sores, or spasticity if for some reason you cannot move joints on your own.

Active-Assist Range of Motion (AAROM) measures ROM in a recovering part of the body if it needs assistance as it heals. This you can move on your own, but still needs extra support for the healing body.

What is the importance of Range of Motion? ROM along with flexibility are essential to a body’s functional mobility. Bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons, all support each joint in the body. A healthy ROM allows the body to move easily and comfortably, the torso and limbs function efficiently, risk of injury decreases, and quality of life increases. Limited ROM in a joint may cause the body to compensate by putting pressure on other joints and muscles. This causes a muscle imbalance as well as improper body alignment. Muscle imbalance and poor alignment put the body at a higher risk for injury and pain.

Treatment and Help for limited ROM:
Mobility exercises and stretches
-Improve strength and flexibility
-Reduce pain and discomfort
-Improve circulation
-Lessen stiffness
-Reduce the risk of re-injury
-Improve mood

Chiropractic adjustments- realign the body so it can move the way it was designed to.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is defined as a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures. If you have epilepsy, surges of electrical activity in your brain can cause recurring seizures.

There are 3 categories of seizures: Focal onset, Generalized onset, and Unknown onset.

Focal onset seizures result from abnormal activity in just one area of the brain. These can be without loss of consciousness- Focal Onset Awareness- or with impaired awareness- Focal Onset Impaired Awareness.
Motor symptoms of focal onset seizures include:
-jerking (clonic)
-limp/weak muscles (atonic)
-rigid/ tense muscles (tonic)
-muscle twitching (myoclonus)
-epileptic spasms
-automatisms or repeated automatic movements, like clapping or rubbing of hands, lip -smacking or chewing, or running
Non-motor symptoms of focal onset seizures include:
-changes in sensation, emotions, thinking or cognition
-autonomic functions (such as gastrointestinal sensations, waves of heat or cold, goosebumps, heart racing, etc.)
-lack of movement (called behavior arrest)

Generalized onset seizures appear to involve all areas of the brain. Types of Generalized onset seizures, and symptoms include:
-absence: staring into space with or without subtle body movements such as blinking, lip smacking, last 5-10 seconds. may occur in clusters as often as 100 times a day, cause a brief loss of awareness
-tonic: cause stiff muscles, may affect consciousness, usually affect muscles in back, arms, and legs
-atonic: loss of muscle control, most often affects the legs
-clonic: repeated or rhythmic, jerking muscle movements, usually affect neck, face and arms
-myoclonic: sudden, brief jerks or twitches usually affect upper body, arms and legs
-clonic-tonic: abrupt loss of consciousness and body stiffening, twitching and shaking, sometimes cause loss of bladder control or biting your tongue

Unknown onset seizures are when the beginning of seizure is not known, and may later be diagnosed as focal or generalized.

Causes of Seizures:
-a brain tumor, central nervous system infection, head injury, stroke, and traumatic brain injury
-For children, they can be at risk for seizures due to Autism, brain malfunctions, conge***al conditions, head trauma, and lack of oxygen during birth.
-Adults can be at risk for seizures due to Alzheimer’s conge***al conditions, genetics, head trauma, and stroke

Treatments:
-anti-seizure medication- 20-30 percent of patients do not see a change in frequency or severity of seizures
-stimulation of vagus nerve- implant a device to electrically stimulate Vagus nerve- risky and invasive
-chiropractic care and epilepsy- upper cervical area affects Vagus nerve, adjustments remove subluxations- improve nerve function- patients have seen improvements with their epilepsy. there is no cure for epilepsy but chiropractic care can help manage epilepsy and reduce instances of seizures

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Chiropractic care can help prevent and treat heart disease. Chiropractic adjustments can reduce chest pain, lower blood pressure, and improve lung function!

Leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke are high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

Risk factors for heart disease include:
Age. Growing older increases the risk of damaged and narrowed arteries and a weakened or thickened heart muscle.
S*x. Men are generally at greater risk of heart disease. The risk for women increases after menopause.
Family history. A family history of heart disease increases the risk of coronary artery disease, especially if a parent developed it at an early age (before age 55 for a male relative, such as your brother or father, and 65 for a female relative, such as your mother or sister).
Smoking. If you smoke, quit. Substances in to***co smoke damage the arteries. Heart attacks are more common in smokers than in nonsmokers. If you need help quitting, talk to your health care provider about strategies that can help.
Unhealthy diet. Diets high in fat, salt, sugar and cholesterol have been linked to heart disease.
High blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause the arteries to become hard and thick. These changes interrupt blood flow to the heart and body.
High cholesterol. Having high cholesterol increases the risk of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis has been linked to heart attacks and strokes.
Diabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease. Obesity and high blood pressure increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Obesity. Excess weight typically worsens other heart disease risk factors.
Lack of exercises. Being inactive (sedentary lifestyle) is associated with many forms of heart disease and some of its risk factors, too.
Stress. Unrelieved stress may damage the arteries and worsen other risk factors for heart disease.
Poor dental health. It's important to brush and floss your teeth and gums often. Also get regular dental checkups. Unhealthy teeth and gums makes it easier for germs to enter the bloodstream and travel to the heart. This can cause endocarditis

Complications of heart disease include:
Heart failure. This is one of the most common complications of heart disease. Heart failure occurs when the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Heart attack. A heart attack may occur if a blood clot is stuck in a blood vessel that goes to the heart.
Stroke. The risk factors that lead to heart disease can also lead to an ischemic stroke. This type of stroke happens when the arteries to the brain are narrowed or blocked. Too little blood reaches the brain. A stroke is a medical emergency — brain tissue begins to die within just a few minutes of a stroke.
Aneurysm. An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of an artery. If an aneurysm bursts, you may have life-threatening internal bleeding.
Peripheral artery disease. In this condition, the arms or legs — usually the legs — don't get enough blood. This causes symptoms, most notably leg pain when walking (claudication). Atherosclerosis can lead to peripheral artery disease.
Sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is the sudden loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. It's usually due to a problem with the heart's electrical system. Sudden cardiac arrest is a medical emergency. If not treated immediately, it results in sudden cardiac death.

The same lifestyle changes used to manage heart disease may also help prevent it. Try these heart-healthy tips:
Don't smoke.
Eat a diet that's low in salt and saturated fat.
Exercise at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Reduce and manage stress.
Control high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Get good sleep. Adults should aim for 7 to 9 hours daily.

Text Neck, also referred to as tech neck, is overuse syndrome resulting from excessive strain on the neck from looking down at mobile handheld devices. This leads to headaches, neck and shoulder and arm pain, and breathing compromise.

Symptoms of Text Neck:
-Stiff neck: soreness and difficulty in moving the neck is usually present when trying to move the neck after long usages\
-Pain: can be localized to one spot or may be diffused over an area, usually lower part of the neck. Can be described as dull aching or can also be sharp or stabbing in extreme cases
-Radiating pain: there can often be radiation of pain into the shoulders and arms.
-Muscular weakness: shoulders muscles namely, trapezius, rhomboids and shoulder external rotators are often weak
-Headache: sub-occipital muscle tightness can lead to tension type headaches.

In addition to these common symptoms there can also be:
-Flattening of thoracic kyphosis
-Early onset arthritis
-Spinal degeneration
-Disc compression
-Muscle weakness
-Loss of lung capacity

Forward head dramatically increases the weight of the head on the spine, and the effect and amount of weight are powerfully and incrementally enhanced by varying degrees.
An average of cervical spine angle in flexion when texting is 37 to 47 degrees.
A study has shown that head weight increases to 18.14 kg at 30 degrees and 22.23 kg at 45 degrees, and this can lead to inflammation of the ligaments, muscles, and nerves in the neck, resulting in permanent arthritic damage with increased curvature of the spine.
A concern with children was raised due to their larger heads in relation to their body size than adults, thus they have an increased risk of potential damage on neck caused by text neck.

Management of Text Neck:
-Avoid excessive usage and take frequent breaks
-Avoid prolonged static postures.
-Position the device such that it reduces stresses both on the head/neck and the upper extremities
-Avoid high repetitions of movements such as prolonged typing or swiping
-Avoid holding large or heavy devices in one hand for long duration

Text Neck and Chiropractic Care:
Untreated text neck may result in spinal misalignment. Your chiropractor can offer treatment through spinal manipulations, stretches, and exercises to relieve pain and misalignments as well as strengthen weakened muscles

Also referred to as TECH NECK, this is a terrible thing plaguing the country these days. Anyone with a phone, TV, Computer, or gaming device knows about this problem to some degree. I have hundreds of examples and stories I could share and anyone suffering from headaches, shoulder tension, upper back pain, neck pain, tingling or numbness into arms and hands take notice. Put the phones down, shut off the screens, get outside and start living life to its fullest. We are here to help with adjustments, exercises and stretches to help you overcome this debilitating addiction with devices once and for all!

***Migraines***

A migraine is a headache that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.

Migraines can progress through four stages:

-Prodrome: a day or two before a migraine, subtle changes that may warn of an oncoming migraine: constipation, mood changes, from depression to euphoria, food cravings, neck stiffness, increased urination, fluid retention, and frequent yawning

-Aura: Auras are reversible symptoms of the nervous system. Examples of migraine auras include: Visual phenomena, such as seeing various shapes, bright spots or flashes of light, Vision loss, Pins and needles sensations in an arm or leg, Weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body, or Difficulty speaking

-Attack: A migraine usually lasts from 4 to 72 hours if untreated. During a migraine, you might have: Pain usually on one side of your head, but often on both sides, Pain that throbs or pulses, Sensitivity to light, sound, and sometimes smell and touch, or Nausea and vomiting.

-Post-drome: After a migraine attack, you might feel drained, confused and washed out for up to a day. Some people report feeling elated. Sudden head movement might bring on the pain again briefly.

Causes of Migraines:

Though migraine causes aren't fully understood, genetics and environmental factors appear to play a role.
Changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, a major pain pathway, might be involved. So might imbalances in brain chemicals — including serotonin, which helps regulate pain in your nervous system.
Researchers are studying the role of serotonin in migraines. Other neurotransmitters play a role in the pain of migraine, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).

Migraine Triggers:

-Hormonal changes in women. Fluctuations in estrogen, such as before or during menstrual periods, pregnancy and menopause, seem to trigger headaches in many women. Hormonal medications, such as oral contraceptives, also can worsen migraines. Some women, however, find that their migraines occur less often when taking these medications.

-Drinks. These include alcohol, especially wine, and too much caffeine, such as coffee.

-Stress. Stress at work or home can cause migraines.

-Sensory stimuli. Bright or flashing lights can induce migraines, as can loud sounds. Strong smells — such as perfume, paint thinner, secondhand smoke and others — trigger migraines in some people.

-Sleep changes. Missing sleep or getting too much sleep can trigger migraines in some people.

-Physical factors. Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, might provoke migraines.

-Weather changes. A change of weather or barometric pressure can prompt a migraine.

-Medications. Oral contraceptives and vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, can aggravate migraines.

-Foods. Aged cheeses and salty and processed foods might trigger migraines. So might skipping meals.

-Food additives. These include the sweetener aspartame and the preservative monosodium glutamate (MSG), found in many foods.

Several factors make you more prone to having migraines, including:

-Family history. If you have a family member with migraines, then you have a good chance of developing them too.

-Age. Migraines can begin at any age, though the first often occurs during adolescence. Migraines tend to peak during your 30s, and gradually become less severe and less frequent in the following decades.

-S*x. Women are three times more likely than men to have migraines.

-Hormonal changes. For women who have migraines, headaches might begin just before or shortly after onset of menstruation. They might also change during pregnancy or menopause. Migraines generally improve after menopause.

Chiropractic and Migraines:
Chiropractic adjustments can help with acute and chronic neck discomfort, reducing the number of headaches – whether they are migraines or tension headaches.
The chiropractor will modify the position of the patient's spine using targeted methods to enhance spinal function and relieve nervous system tension. This helps the body function properly, lowering the chance of stress and tension building up until headache pain occurs.
