We know how difficult chronic headache pain can be. Sweeney Chiropractic and our staff have worked with many patients in our Nashville chiropractic practice, and we've had great success in helping people reduce their headache pain.
A 2016 research paper confirms what we see in our office. In this study, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering with headache pain that originated in the cervical spine. 58 of these patients were given a series of neck adjustments; 52 were given some stretches and exercises. The treatment period for both groups was four weeks.
The study found that the individuals who received cervical and thoracic spinal adjustments "experienced significantly greater reductions in headache intensity, disability, headache frequency, headache duration, and medication intake as compared to the group that received mobilization and exercise."
The study also found that these results were maintained at the three-month follow-up exam.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat headache, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Sweeney Chiropractic a call today at our Nashville office at (615) 331-7040. We're here to help get out of pain.
