Headaches, Your Neck, and Structural Correction Chiropractic
Headaches can have various causes, including tension, stress, poor posture, dehydration, eyestrain, and underlying health conditions. Cervical hypolordosis and cervical kyphosis
are conditions that can contribute to headaches and neck pain. Cervical hypolordosis is a condition in which the natural curve of the neck is reduced or flattened, while cervical kyphosis is a condition in which the neck curve is reversed, causing the head to protrude forward.
A large number of people with headache disorders are not diagnosed and treated. In fact, only 40% of those with migraine or tension headaches are professionally diagnosed.
A 2003 study showed that headache was the most common reason for missed productive time at work (5.4% of those in the study lost productive time at work due to headache over only a 2 week sample). A 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimated the annual cost in lost productive time due to pain to be $61.2 billion.
Of that 61.2 billion lost, headaches were the most prevalent reason.
Recent studies have shown that the majority of headaches are caused by the neck due to abnormal spinal alignment and abnormal postures. The most common is the loss of the normal lordosis (cervical curve) and forward head posture.
Structural correction chiropractic is a type of chiropractic care that focuses on correcting misalignments and imbalances in the spine and other areas of the body. This approach aims to restore proper alignment and function to the body, which can help alleviate pain, improve posture, and promote overall health and well-being.
In terms of headaches and neck pain, structural correction chiropractic may be beneficial for some people with cervical hypolordosis or cervical kyphosis. By addressing the underlying misalignment and restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care may help relieve tension and pressure in the neck and head, reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches.
At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness Structural Correction Chiropractic Treatment is selected and designed from a thorough consultation, health history, physical examination (orthopedic/neurological testing), digital posture analysis, weight bearing sitting x-rays using 41 measurements and 23 angles analyzing and comparing the spine to a mathematical model. In specific cases additional diagnostics could be ordered (Digital Motion X-rays/CTs/MRIs) to obtain or confirm a diagnosis.
