Chiropractic Helps Cervicogenic Headaches

We know how difficult long-term headache pain can be. Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center and our staff have worked with many people in our Mt Sterling chiropractic clinic, and we've had great success in helping people lessen their headache pain.

Research Proves Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research paper confirms what we see in our clinic. In this paper, the authors started with 110 individuals 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 paper found that the patients 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 study 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 Linton Spine & Joint Chiropractic Center a call today at our Mt Sterling office at (859) 499-1009. We're here to help get you relief.
