CHIROPRACTIC CARE How does chiropractic care relieve headaches? Slight vertebral misalignments (subluxations) in the neck may cause muscle spasms and lead to tension headaches. Correcting the misalignment allows the muscle to relax and the headache to be relieved. Many headaches are caused by too much or too little blood flow to the brain and some medications prescribed for migraines and/or headaches target blood flow for this reason. The vertebral artery is one of the main blood vessels supplying the brain. It travels through small holes along the sides of the vertebral bones of the neck and it, too, can sometimes be compromised by subluxations leading to increased headache frequency and intensity. Your chiropractor can determine, through examination, if your headache type fits these categories or others that may require neurological or dietary intervention. Dr.Brook A.
