Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Fernandina Beach headache. It’s a condition many people experience. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more often discussed types. The cervicogenic headache is linked to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is linked to the muscles of the neck generated by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache types are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is noted as the second most common health concern around the world. A new review of published studies for its treatment explained that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for reducing headache frequency, improving quality of life, reducing pain intensity, and decreasing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A recent study noted how researchers utilized diagnostic block testing to pinpoint the cervical spine joint source of the headache. Generally, the C2-3 level was the most common source. In patients whose dominant complaint was headache over neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. For patients whose neck pain was greater than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Fernandina Beach headache patient must undergo this type of procedure to be taken care of, but the results were interesting for healthcare providers to aid diagnose and treat headache patients more beneficially.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers stated that spinal manipulation was employed often to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, supplied superior, small, short term benefits for reducing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual treatment. (3) One relieving treatment called SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been explained in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers found that SNAGs were good for pain reduction and neck disability drop and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy approaches like this help headache. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic uses Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Fernandina Beach headache and neck pain.
