Headaches can range from minor nuisance to complete body shut down. At Healing Junction our goal is reduce your pain and eliminate the cause of your headache through chiropractic care, nutrition, massage and stress management. The first step in eliminating a headache is to determine what kind of headache it is. There are many types of headaches that range from tension to migraines. Once the root of the headache is determined, the proper course of care will be implemented to eliminate your current pain and prevent future episodes.
Stress is one of the greatest problems we face everyday. Stress can come in the forms of a bad day at work, a long commute, having to buy holiday presents, or neck and back pain. Even though we may not consider these stressors the same, they can have the same affect on the body. So a fight with a loved one can lead to a headache or a couple of nights with decreased sleep can lead to a cold or muscle and joint pain. Eliminating stress from our lives is pretty much impossible, but there are tools to manage it and reduce its affects.
The keys to helping reduce and manage stress (which will reduce pain) vary from person to person. Some are however universal.
- Sleep (we need about 8 hours everyday, not 6 one night and 10 the next.)
- Nutrition (healthy eating means less inflammation, better brain function, more energy and less pain)
- Exercise (this releases the body's natural opiates to reduce stress and give you more engery)
At Healing Junction we utilize pain management techniques, nutritional and exercise counseling and
CES (cranial electrical stimulation) to help you manage your stress and sleep better at night.
