Chiropractic Treatment of Cervicogenic Headaches

Chiropractic Relieves Cervicogenic Headaches in Woburn

We know how difficult long-term headache pain can be. Dr. Ellis and our staff have worked with many people in our Woburn chiropractic office, and we've had great success in helping patients lessen their headache pain.

Research Proves Chiropractic Care Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research study confirms what we see in our office. In this paper, the authors started with 110 individuals who were suffering from 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 outcomes 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. Ellis a call today at our Woburn office at (781) 460-0939. We're here to help get you out of pain.
