At Pike Chiropractic Therapy Center,in Dayton, Ohio we can help ease your pain with a more natural solution.

Chiropractic adjustments, which is the primary treatment of doctors of chiropractic may be an effective natural treatment option for headaches that originate around the neck and also tension headaches. A 2011 JMPT study found that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, improves migraines and cervicogenic headaches{1}.

Headache Triggers

Headaches can have many causes, or triggers. These may include certain foods, hormones, behaviors (excessive exercise, changes in blood sugar, insomnia) environmental stimuli (lights, noises, weather, stress)  Approximately, 95 percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as migraines, tension headaches, or cluster headaches. These types of headaches are not caused by disease, but the headache itself is the main concern.
