Chiropractic Treatment of Cervicogenic Headaches

Research Reveals Chiropractic Can Lessen Cervicogenic Headaches in Livermore

We know how difficult chronic headache pain can be. Haque Chiropractic Inc. and our staff have worked with many men and women in our Livermore chiropractic clinic, and we've had great success in helping folks eliminate their headache pain.

Research Proves Chiropractic Therapy Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research study verifies what we see in our clinic. In this study, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering from headaches 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 report found that the patients 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 outcomes 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 Haque Chiropractic Inc. a call today at our Livermore office at (925) 960-1960. We're here to help get you help.
