A person may wonder how best to relieve headaches. While acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, or another kind of medication may seem to be the quick fix, a person has to ask if this is really the right solution. Actually, medication only covers up the symptoms of a headache, it does not address the root cause. This means that a headache will more-than-likely recur, and the underlying problem may continue to get worse.
Upper cervical chiropractic care is a particular kind of chiropractic that focuses on making sure the top bones of the neck are in alignment, as a misalignment here is the cause of a number of headache conditions. A chiropractic research clinic, Palmer Research Clinic, has seen this type of chiropractic care eliminate headaches in 1,000 of their patients!

Case Studies on Headaches
The first case study is based on information from the Duke University. They found that spinal adjustments showed almost immediate improvement in headaches with significantly fewer side effects than medication. Those with tension headaches reported having longer lasting relief than if they had taken prescription medication.
A second study was done by Dr. Erin Elster. This involved 101 people who were suffering from headaches. In the previous 30 days before the study, these patients reported having a total of 1,407 headaches. After receiving upper cervical chiropractic care from Dr. Elster, they reported that, in the 30 days following, they only had a total of 111 headaches. This went from 14 headaches per person, per month to one headache per person, per month. What a huge difference! In fact, it’s a 92% reduction in headaches. Much better than what a bottle of pills can do.
Not only does upper cervical care assist with headaches, but we also help to keep a patient's neck and spine healthy. This can increase the overall health of a person due to the fact that body and brain will communicate properly, nerve damage can be eliminated, and pressure on the brainstem from the previous misalignment will be reduced. People who choose upper cervical over medication are happy to tell their friends and loved ones about their choice to treat their headaches without the use of medication.
