Many people suffer with headache pain, and tension headaches are a frequent problem in our busy world. Postural problems and stress are common sources of tension headache pain and ones that Dr. Ahmed and the staff here in our Roselle chiropractic office have a lot of experience in dealng with.
The scientific literature shows our results: A 2016 study from Spain treated a group of 76 men and women with chronic tension headaches. The participants were divided into four treatment groups: 19 patients were treated with suboccipital inhibition (the doctor presses on the tight tissues at the top of the spine); 19 with chiropractic care; 19 with both adjustments and suboccipital inhibition; and 19 received no treatment.
The researchers found that the spinal adjustments were beneficial at relieving pain, and that the best results were found when adjustments were mixed with the suboccipital inhibition.
When we get run down, the nerves and tissues in the neck can be disrupted, leading to pain. Chiropractic works by removing these stresses and restoring the normal nerve function to the area.
If you live in Roselle and are suffering from any kind of headache, we're here to help you get relief. Call Dr. Ahmed today at (630) 295-8851 for an appointment or more information.
