Headache

Almost everyone knows the pain of a headache.
Not everyone finds relief.

Studies show that  9 of 10 Americans experience headaches. Ranging from mild to debilitating, headaches interfere with your ability to work and play. At Lehigh Valley Chiropractic, our doctors manage the common causes of headache (such as muscle tightness and joint dysfunction) with“ hands-on” methods and successfully treat many headache sufferers with a drug-free and evidence based approach.

With the majority of headaches resulting from fixed postures, muscle imbalance, stress and inactivity, it’s no wonder that so many Americans suffer from headaches. At Lehigh Valley Chiropractic, we are able to assess the symptoms and treat the cause allowing you to enjoy pain free living.

There are numerous studies that speak to the efficacy of the chiropractic management of headaches. In 2001, an Evidence Report published by Duke University was released which attests to the positive effects of spinal manipulation (one of the main types of treatment provided at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic). The researchers determined that spinal manipulation resulted in immediate improvement in headache severity when used to treat headaches that originate from the neck. When compared to the patients who were provided with a commonly prescribed medication, the patients who underwent a course of chiropractic treatment reported longer-lasting relief and significantly fewer side-effects. Several studies have also positively evaluated chiropractic for the treatment of migraine. Learn more about strategies for managing your migraines and the benefits of chiropractic.

Prior to your first appointment, we encourage you to print and complete a 5 day headache diary.  Your doctors will use this diary to evaluate headache triggers and patterns.
