Drug-Free Headache Relief
(NAPS)-If you have a head ache, you may want to visit a doc tor of chiropractic care before you head to the medicine cabinet. Doing so can speed relief and help you avoid the side effects associated with certain drugs.
Chiropractic care has long been used to treat headaches without drugs.
A report from the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, N.C., found that spinal manipulation quickly improved headaches originating in the neck, and had far fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension headaches than a commonly prescribed medication.
Other studies have shown chiropractic care to be effective in the treatment of migraine headaches.
"Headaches can be debilitating and deserve examination by a doctor," explains Gerard Clum, D.C., a spokes person the not-for-profit Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (FCP). "They could be a warning sign that something is wrong. That something wrong could be a structural problem with the head and neck as a result of posture or injury.
Dr. Clum advises that instead of masking their pain with medication, people should consider a visit to a doctor of chiropractic.
