We know how difficult persistent headache pain can be. Oregon Medical Centers and our staff have worked with many patients in our Aloha, Beaverton chiropractic practice, and we've had great success in helping people eliminate their headache pain.
A 2016 research paper verifies what we see in our practice. In this paper, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering with headache pain 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 study found that the individuals 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 investigation also found that these results were maintained at the three-month follow-up exam.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat chronic headache pain, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Oregon Medical Centers a call today at our Aloha, Beaverton office at (503) 642-2845. We're here to help get relief.
