WHAT IS A CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT?

The chiropractic adjustment is the process of manipulating joint components in order to restore them to their optimal alignment. This is important when these structures become misaligned (or are pushed out of alignment) as a result of age-related physical changes, long-standing postural difficulties, or traumatic events such as auto accident injuries. Subluxation is a condition that can affect infants during their passage through the birth canal. From chronic muscle strain and pinched nerves to systemic ailments, alignment errors can cause a number of complaints.

Chiropractic adjustments help errant joint components back into their proper place, allowing the joints to function more normally while also reducing nerve impingement and correcting body symmetry. The traditional manual form of this technique entails the precise application of high-velocity, low-amplitude force. Call us today at (402) 502-3878 to schedule your next appointment.

What is causing your tension headaches?

A headache can be caused by a variety of factors in your environment. One of the most common headache triggers is tension in the neck and shoulders.

Tension is caused by overly tight muscles caused by strenuous physical activity or a lack of exercise. You may be more prone to tension headaches if you spend a lot of time hunched over your computer, phone, or desk.

These activities not only tense your muscles but can also irritate your spine's joints and cause chronic inflammation.

Chiropractic care can help with headache relief.

Chiropractic manipulations, such as spinal decompression, are excellent for treating headaches because they address the underlying cause of your discomfort. Chiropractors employ a variety of manipulation techniques to realign the joints in your cervical (neck) spine.

Improved spinal alignment allows blood to circulate more freely, reducing inflammation and irritation that causes headaches. Chiropractic adjustments also improve neck and shoulder flexibility and range of motion, allowing you to exercise and engage in physical activities without pain.

Furthermore, chiropractors ensure that your lumbar (lower spine) is properly aligned to improve your posture, relieve back pain, and prevent premature degeneration of your spinal joints and nerve compression conditions such as sciatica.

Other methods for preventing tension headaches

Chiropractors at Komp Chiropractic and Acupuncture provide additional treatment options for tension headaches in addition to routine chiropractic adjustments.

Medications

When over-the-counter medications aren't enough to relieve tension, headache pain, prescription medications that reduce inflammation and help relax overly tight muscles may be beneficial.

Therapeutic massage

A therapeutic massage can help you relax your muscles, improve your blood circulation, and reduce overall tension in your body.

Myofascial release therapy

A Chiropractor uses a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device to deliver electric pulses of energy into trigger points (tight, knotted muscles) to relieve pain and tension. Electrodes are placed on the skin's surface, and no incisions or invasive procedures are required for the treatment.

Exercising at home

In addition to on-site therapies, your Omaha Chiropractor can work with you on at-home exercises to relieve tension before it becomes serious and causes a headache. You should also prioritize taking at least one hour away from your electronics and desk work to stretch your spine and go for a walk.
