Hollstrom & Associates Inc Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Largo headache. It’s a condition from which many people suffer. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more commonly discussed ones. The cervicogenic headache is linked to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is related to the muscles of the neck caused by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache forms are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Hollstrom & Associates Inc.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is reported as the second most common health concern globally. A new review of published studies for its treatment found 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
Largo chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A recent study noted how researchers used diagnostic block testing to find the cervical spine joint source of the headache. In general, the C2-3 level was the most frequent source. In patients whose chief complaint was headache more than neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. In patients whose neck pain was worse than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every Largo headache patient must undergo this type of testing to be taken care of, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to help make a diagnosis and set up a treatment plan for headache patients in a better way.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was applied frequently to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, supplied superior, small, short term benefits for decreasing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual treatment. (3) One relieving treatment referred to as SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been explained in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers found that SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability decrease as well as range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy approaches like this benefit headache. Hollstrom & Associates Inc provides Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Largo headache and neck pain.
