Can Chiropractic care help with headaches?

The big question is, can Chiropractic care help with those suffering with headaches?   According to the National Headache Foundation, there are over 30 types of headaches which affect more than 90% of Americans.   It is extremely important to perform a thorough evaluation to rule out any headaches which are extremely serious and would not respond to Chiropractic care.      In my 18+ years of practicing Chiropractic, I have helped many who were suffering with headaches.   There were some along the way that were being caused by conditions which are not helped by Chiropractic care.   (continued below)

Forward head posture and a lack of proper curve in the neck are common factors in producing headaches, neck pain, arm/hand pain/numbness, arthritis, and accelerated disc degeneration.   I have noticed that patients who have headaches and neck pain respond really well and fast to Chiropractic care.   A few visits in, most patients report significant relief from headaches and neck pain which they have had for years.   Are you suffering with neck pain, headaches, arm or hand pain/numbness/tingling/burning pain??   This next image will be a simple guide for checking your posture yourself.   If you have ANY questions or concerns, message me on my Facebook page (Chad Filimon, D.C.) and I will be happy to answer them.
