We know how difficult persistent headache pain can be. Dr. John Nowak and our staff have worked with many people in our Buffalo chiropractic clinic, and we've had great success in helping patients reduce their headache pain.
Research Supports Chiropractic Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches
A 2016 research study verifies what we see in our practice. In this study, 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 report found that the individuals 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 investigation also found that these results were maintained at the three-month follow-up exam.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat chronic headache pain, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Dr. John Nowak a call today at our Buffalo office at (716) 825-4121. We're here to help get you out of pain.
