subject: Pomona Chiropractor Provides Natural Therapy For Headaches [print this page] A chiropractor in Pomona may well be the answer to headaches caused by a lingering neck injury. Chiropractics uses a non invasive method to relieve headaches and has been used for this purpose since late in the nineteenth century. It is an effective way to alleviate pain associated with a misaligned vertebrae in your neck.
When you are suffering from a headache it could be caused for a number of different reasons. An injury to the neck because of an accident or a repetitive movement, or perhaps poor posture is responsible for causing one or more vertebrae to move out of their natural alignment. Inflammation due to the stresses on the muscles in turn constricts the nerves.
Blood flow is obstructed to the area, which can contribute to a headache, as not enough oxygen is delivered to the specific area. The area cannot heal properly until the misalignment is corrected. Taking pain medications might dull the discomfort for a period of time, but this only numbs the symptoms and does not fix the problem.
Your symptoms will not dissipate until the misalignment is set right. Until such time, you will suffer headaches, neck aches, joint stiffness, numbness and if the muscles are affected severely enough, a burning feeling in the affected muscles. Tingling in fingers and toes has also been reported.
The chiropractor has the skills necessary to correct the misalignment. He will easily be able to detect the exact problem, knowing instinctively which vertebrae is out of alignment and which muscles are affected by the injury. He will go about setting your vertebrae, shifting it back into position.
There is usually no pain involved during a readjustment. In fact, an almost immediate sense of relief is noted. After visiting a Chiropractor in Pomona, the joints move more easily, the strain on the muscles is relieved and the inflammation that caused the stiffness and restricted the blood flow subsides. Your muscles will also move more freely.
