Everyone has a headache now and then but if you are experiencing headaches on a weekly or even daily basis, it needs to be addressed. Regular headaches are a sign that something is amiss in your body.
Headaches can be triggered by a number of issues including environmental exposures, skeletal misalignments, and neurological issues. They can range from mildly annoying to completely debilitating and intensely painful.
While the go-to for many is over-the-counter NSAID medications like naproxen, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen there is a growing body of research that encourages you to reconsider the way you deal with headache pain as these can have unwanted effects on the body.
Each and every day, millions of people rely on drugs to find relief from their headaches, which can strain their kidneys and liver. The awful irony is that taking these medications regularly can actually lead to more headaches.
A new study revealed that people who use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are more prone to experiencing heart attacks.
The Good News
A study conducted by Norwegian researchers revealed that regular chiropractic care can help patients with chronic tension headaches. The researchers noted that the index of headache frequency, duration, and severity decreased significantly when compared to those who did not receive chiropractic care.
