Head & Neck Treatments
Headaches arise from problems in the neck, different conditions can trigger this type of pain. These include degenerative conditions like Neck Spondylosis, a prolapsed disc in the neck, or a whiplash injury. Falling down or playing sports can also cause injury to the neck and trigger these headaches
Neck Spondylosis:
Symptoms
In most cases one will experience pain, stiffness in the neck or sometimes headache. The pain can also spread to the shoulder, arms, hands, and the base of the skull. Moving the head may sometimes make the pain worse, these changes result in a compression of the blood vessels and affect the blood supply to the brain, possibly resulting in dizziness or even blackouts.
Cause
Cervical Spondylosis may cause because of long term degenerative and wear and tear of the cervical spine or any injury to the neck, it may also occur during some long term activity such as carrying heavy loads, sports, tumors, dancing and so on.
Treatment
Spinal Manipulation: This is a hands on pressure or an activator to realign your vertebrae to improve range of motion of the neck and back, by doing so it may also decrease pain and make it easier to move the muscles in your neck and back. You will immediately experience less pain and stiffness.
Traction: This is to gently pull and decompress your vertebrae, relieving pain and stiffness and decreasing pressure on your nerves.
Massage: To relax muscles and improves blood flow to the area, facilitating for quick recovery.
Other Therapies: May depend on your diagnosis and suggest ultrasound therapy, cold and heat therapy, electrical nerve stimulation treatment or trigger point therapy.
