Chiropractic Great for Cervicogenic Headaches

We know how difficult chronic headache pain can be. Dr. Alpert and our staff have worked with many people in our Jonesboro chiropractic office, and we've had great success in helping folks lessen their headache pain.

Research Shows Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research paper verifies what we see in our practice. In this report, the authors started with 110 patients who were suffering with headaches 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 participants 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 headache, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Dr. Alpert a call today at our Jonesboro office at (770) 472-8989. We're here to help get you help.
