It’s rare to meet someone who hasn’t experienced headache at all. It is a common type of pain that almost all of us go through. Stress, food allergies and improper alignment of the teeth … these are some of the reasons why a person may suffer from a terrible headache.

1. Bruxism –Not many people are aware about it but teeth problems can lead to excessive clenching of the jaw. Tensed jaws will eventually lead to severe headache. Dental braces are the common treatment option advised by doctors, but sometimes chiropractic adjustments are also recommended especially for severe cases. Manipulation is done to gradually correct the alignment of the ribs and the spine. The end goal is to properly align the teeth and the jaw.
2. Visual problems – If your headache is attacking more often, you have to visit an eye doctor. Eye illnesses such as glaucoma are known to cause dizziness and headaches. Although chiropractic care does not directly treat eye problems, it is interesting to note that patients have reported better visual acuity after they have been treated by a chiropractor. Experts attribute the eye health improvement to better blood circulation but more studies are needed to prove this claim.
3. Prescribed medications – Patients taking drug prescription can also suffer from a mild or severe headache. It is often a harsh side effect of the chemicals contained in the drug. If you are suffering from an illness that requires prescription drugs, consider chiropractic treatment. It aids the body in recovering and self-healing. It also minimizes your reliance on pain killers to feel better.
4. Stress from work –There are numerous types of stress but stress from work is probably the most common. Little things that you didn’t expect to cause problems can actually cause a big headache, literally and figuratively. For example, if your eye is too close to your computer monitor, expect to go through headaches more often. It builds pressure inside your eyes that leads to terrible headaches. Training yourself to keep a reasonable distance away from the monitor is the first step. Chiropractic care also helps especially treatments that focus on the spine, shoulder and neck. It relaxes your body and takes the pressure off your head.
5. Dehydration – Not drinking enough glasses of water can also result to a severe headache. When your body is dehydrated, you suffer from headache because it is the body’s way of telling you that you need to drink water. Coffee, soda and artificial juices do not count. You need pure water to keep yourself hydrated. Chiropractic care is helpful in such a way that your body is trained to choose what is healthy. Patients report that after going through chiro care, they are motivated to lead a healthy life. After they have experienced the positive benefits of chiropractic therapy, they don’t want to go back to their unhealthy lifestyle.
