A question I am asked at least once a week and more likely once a day.
IMHO: At one time more than 10% of the UKs population suffer from headaches and they are one of the main reason for seeking advice from a GP. Over 90% of all headaches are primary headaches this includes all tension-type, migraine, cervicogenic and cluster headaches. Primary headcahes have no other underlying medical condition to cause them - so, if you have a headache is is very unlikely to have a serious medical condition as the cause.
In a report published in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in the USA they found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had this form of treatment had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.
We've certainly had real success here in C1 Chiropractic Health Clinc with these headaches and give us a ring if you want to know more.
And, I suspect there is more - far more, out there and I'll try and find it and add it as I see it.
