We know how difficult persistent headache pain can be. Montero Chiropractic Clinic and our staff have worked with many men and women in our Yuma chiropractic office, and we've had great success in helping patients eliminate their headache pain.
A 2016 research study confirms what we see in our clinic. In this report, the authors started with 110 people 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 paper 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 study also found that these outcomes 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 Montero Chiropractic Clinic a call today at our Yuma office at (928) 782-2233. We're here to help get you help.
