Chiropractic treatment of headaches and migranes

Headaches and migraines are often caused by compression of the vertebral arteries. Only in your cervical spine do you have blood vessels actually running through the vertebra. These arteries supply the blood flow to the brain. Any abnormal pressure exerted on these vessels cna decrease the blood supply and cause pain. Abnormal curves of the neck, poor posture and previous injury can all lead to increased incidences of headaches. Headaches are not "normal" and should not be written off as stress or poor sleeping position. If you experience headaches please stop in so we can find out the cause and fix the problem.
