Hurst TX Chiropractor Has Headache Remedy

One of the top 5 reasons people come to my office is because they have headaches in Hurst TX. These headaches are often debilitating and many people have lost hope that anything can be done to solve their problem. Let's review the three most common causes of headaches and what you can do to get relief.

3 common causes of headache in Hurst TX

1. Too much computer time. After working at your computer for over 30 minutes, you've probably noticed you start to develop "turtle posture". You start to hunch over and slump. Your head inches toward your screen and your shoulders start to round. Over time, your body actually feels more natural in this position than it does sitting upright. Chiropractic care can help restore proper alignment and make it easier for your body to adapt to a better and healthier posture.
2. Too much neck and shoulder tension. I want to let you in on a little secret. No matter how cool, calm, and confident someone appears… we all have stress. Stress can be carried out in different parts of our body. Some carry it in their lower backs. Others, me included, carry it in my neck and shoulders. A lot of times when we are stressed, we tend to elevate our shoulders. After a while, this becomes an unconscious reaction when we become stressed. The longer the shoulders are kept in this elevated position, the body will respond by keeping the shoulder muscles very tense and in spasm. It is easier for the body to keep the shoulders in this elevated position by maintaining a continual state of muscle contraction (spasm). Regular adjustments help your body get rid of those unwanted physical manifestations of stress so they don't accumulate into a chronic problem.
3. TMJ problems. Clenching your teeth at night is a huge cause of headaches. Whether you suffer from jaw pain, clicking or popping, or chronic headaches your TMJ needs to be checked to make sure it is moving properly. Your TMJ can be carefully adjusted like the rest of your spine. I prefer to use an Activator adjusting instrument so we can be specific as possible while using minimal force. The treatment is quite comfortable and the results are noticed within a few treatments.

Despite the many causes of headaches, they can be successfully treated with a chiropractic adjustment. I've seen many patients who suffered from headaches for years, leave the office pain-free.
