Treating Headaches with Natural Chiropractic Care in West Hartford

When headaches occur regularly, even in a low frequency, or develop into migraines, it is necessary to address the situation and find a solution that work. At West Hartford Chiropractic, we provide natural solutions to address the underlying causes of headaches as opposed to treating only the symptoms.

What Are Headaches?

Headaches refer to any pain in your head, top of your neck or jaw. Usually, it feels like a discomfort or pain inside your skull, the temples, or behind the nasal passages and eyes, at the top of your neck and behind your head, or around your head like a tight band. The exact location of the headache can direct us to it’s underlying cause. In certain situations, a headache refers to a feeling of consistent pressure, even if it does not actually cause a sharp or dull pain.

Occasional headaches can be caused by tension, stress, common cold or allergies and might be very short in duration. Severe and persistent headaches raise concerns about your overall health and well-being and therefore should be addressed immediately. Only once the underlying cause is established –is it possible to customize treatment plan .
