Lincoln Cervicogenic Headache Treatment
Lincoln Cervicogenic Headache Treatment
We know how difficult chronic headache pain can be. Dr. Kallio and our staff have worked with many people in our Lincoln chiropractic practice, and we've had great success in helping people reduce their headache pain.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches
A 2016 research paper confirms what we see in our practice. In this study, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering from headaches 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 individuals 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 study 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 Dr. Kallio a call today at our Lincoln office at (402) 484-5166. We're here to help get you out of pain.
