We know how difficult persistent headache pain can be. Alliance Chiropractic and our staff have worked with many men and women in our Tulsa chiropractic practice, and we've had great success in helping folks reduce their headache pain.
A 2016 research paper confirms what we see in our practice. In this report, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering from headache pain that originated in the cervical spine. 58 of these patients were given a series of neck adjustments; 52 were given some stretches and exercises. The treatment period for both groups was four weeks.
The paper found that the patients who received cervical and thoracic spinal adjustments "experienced significantly greater reductions in headache intensity, disability, headache frequency, headache duration, and medication intake as compared to the group that received mobilization and exercise."
The investigation also found that these results were maintained at the three-month follow-up exam.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat headache, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Alliance Chiropractic a call today at our Tulsa office at (918) 832-7880. We're here to help get relief.
