We know how difficult long-term headache pain can be. North Road Chiropractic and our staff have worked with many people in our Oakleigh chiropractic clinic, and we've had great success in helping people eliminate their headache pain.
A 2016 research study confirms what we see in our office. In this paper, the authors started with 110 patients who were suffering from 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 study 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 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 North Road Chiropractic a call today at our Oakleigh office at (03) 9579 2699. We're here to help get relief.
