Headaches
A common type of headache is one that stems from the neck, this is known as a cervicogenic headache. The headache itself is a response from a stiff neck. Either the muscles are holding a lot of tension, or the joints in the neck are not moving as well as they should be.
This is a classic headache which is easily treatable at B-One Chiropractic.
Types of Headaches
Headaches, which can range from migraines to tension or cluster headaches, are a frequent complaint. While some headaches may indicate serious conditions, most are not life-threatening.
However, they can significantly impact concentration, energy levels, and daily activities.
Headaches are often linked to problems in the neck, in particular one type known as a cervicogenic headache.
Headache Treatment
Headaches are especially common among the office workers we see here in Liverpool's business district, often linked to long hours at a screen and the neck tension that comes with it.
Usually headaches are namely caused by stress, lack of sleep, dehydration or an extensive use of screen time. As true as these are, it is also because of poor posture and this causes neck tension.
At B-One Chiropractic, we perform a physical examination for the neck and posture to understand what the main cause of your headaches is. From there, we build a plan that typically includes gentle neck adjustments or in other words spinal manipulation as well as massage, postural guidance, alongside home exercises and ergonomic advice you can actually use at your desk.
Once we have a clear understanding of what's going on, whether it is due to tight muscles, a stiff joint, or posture that's built up tension over years, then we combine adjustments massage and accupuncture to release the tension and get things moving properly again.
