When you are in need of chiropractic care for headaches, if you live in or near Carrollton, GA, you can count on getting the best possible care from Dr. Pete Lazarnick. There is no need to suffer from the debilitating pain of headaches alone. We will be happy to provide the treatment you require.
Chiropractic care takes a holistic whole-body approach to health and wellness. Getting the body working together without obstruction means letting messages travel from the brain to the rest of the body freely. Chiropractic care offers the hope of getting drug-free relief for headaches.
Chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment is a cornerstone of chiropractic care. The misalignment of the vertebrae, particularly in the neck, can be a cause of headaches. Known as cervicogenic headaches, they can be the result of whiplash, a pinched nerve in the neck, a neck sprain, or arthritis. A gentle manipulation with hands or instruments can help to get things back into alignment and allow the tension to be released from your neck.
PRRT
Primal Reflex Release Technique is a manual therapy approach for providing pain relief. It has been shown to provide relief much more quickly than traditional pain relief techniques and helps about 80% of people who receive treatment. It releases the primal reflexes that may have gotten stuck in the "on" position and this causes disruption and pain. Headaches are treatable with this technique, and the effect can be both quick and dramatic.
Lifestyle advice
Headaches are often a result of your lifestyle. Whether it is the stress of everyday life, lack of good sleep, not getting enough exercise, or working all day in an ergonomically challenging position, the result can be searing or throbbing headaches. Dr. Pete will offer advice on changes that may help to lessen the number or severity of your headaches. Getting out and taking a walk is good for so many things and it can help with headaches as well.
Electrical muscle stimulation
Tension in the shoulders and neck can be a trigger for a headache. Electric muscle stimulation helps the muscles to relax by using low-level electric impulses.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for migraine headaches, cluster headaches, tension headaches, and chronic headaches.
