Preventing Cervicogenic Headaches with Chiropractic

We know how difficult long-term headache pain can be. Bridesburg Spine and Injury Clinic and our staff have worked with many patients in our Philadelphia chiropractic office, and we've had great success in helping people reduce their headache pain.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research paper verifies what we see in our clinic. In this paper, the authors started with 110 individuals 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 study found that the people 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 Bridesburg Spine and Injury Clinic a call today at our Philadelphia office at (215) 743-5330. We're here to help get you relief.
