A headache also known as cephalalgia is pain anywhere within the head or neck area. It can be a symptom of different condition of the head and neck. There are over 200 types of headache. The causes range from the harmless to the life-threatening.  The description of the headache, together with findings on neurological examination, determines the need for any further investigations and the most appropriate treatment.

Tension-type headache is the most common type of headache. The pain can radiate from the neck, back, eyes or other parts of the body. Tension-type headaches account for nearly 90% of all headaches. Tension-type headache pain is often described as a constant pressure, as if the head were being squeezed very tightly. The pain is frequently present on both sides of the head at once. Tension-type headache is typically mild to moderate, but it may be severe.

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by moderate to severe headaches and nausea. It is about three times more common in women than men. The typical migraine headache affects one half of the head and pulsating in nature.  It usually lasts 4 to 72 hours. Symptoms of migraine include nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light and increased sensitivity to sound.

Women who suffer from PMS-related pain, headaches and stress may find chiropractic treatment helpful. For some women, getting PMS is not unlike getting their muscles, joints and back ache; their head throbs and they get so exhausted. There is a small study that suggests women with PMS may have higher occurrence of spine-related problems. In the Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics publication by Maxwell J. Walsh and Barbara I. Polus, fifty-four women with PMS and thirty women without PMS were assessed.  They found that women with PMS had more low back muscle weakness and neck disability compared to women without PMS.

People around the world are suffering from low back pain and getting help from Pearland chiropractic – and other bodily pains.

Much of this pain is induced personally and Pearland Chiropractic can help.

In your body, weak and tight muscles let bones be drawn out of alignment. At the start you don’t realize it at all, you could be 99% of the way to herniating a disc and not feel a thing, we at Pearland chiropractic have seen this happen more than we want.

Then, out of nowhere, you’ll be lifting the groceries into the car, bending down to put your socks on, swiveling around to pick something up..

You’ll probably blame this incident. But at Pearland chiropractic we know that is not the issue. Then you head off to the doctor who’ll send you to get an X-ray. The X-Ray will show you what’s happened but it won’t tell you the specific problem. Then you head to the pharmacist for a pain killer, but lower back pain is not caused by a lack of Ibuprofen. Next you’re sent to a massage therapist for a massage.  This may help in the immediate but will not solve the problem.

You could go to a surgeon but you’ll end up paying 50 thousand dollars for an answer that you could’ve thought of on your own.  Pearland chiropractic doesn’t want to see you waste that kind of money or go through that horrible ordeal..that will not fix your problem anyway..it will just cause more problems.

Pearland Chiropractic

The problem?

Your alignment is off, and only a Pearland chiropractic can fix that.

The main rule of back pain is that the site of pain is rarely where you are affected.

Almost all therapists will rub where it hurts. This will basically loosen up muscles, which will help the problem but not solve it.  Pearland chiropractic also has massage therapy on site.

The cause of the pain is your spine is out of alignment and is pinching on a nerve, which runs to your low back and down your leg.  That is our specialty at Pearland Chiropractic.

That’s when the fun really starts. You can’t sneeze or cough without feeling immense pain. Pearland chiropractic knows you can’t bend down without feeling like someone dropped a brick on your spine. You can’t bend over your sink to brush your teeth.

Pearland Chiropractic

The solution?
Get yourself to a Pearland chiropractic and get an adjustment.

The Pearland chiropractic program has been tested many times, that helps you identify which muscles you need to loosen and which to strengthen. Then you get a set of exercises to gradually straighten your muscles.

It actually takes quite a while. You can’t really expect to fix a problem in days that took decades to happen. Pearland chiropracitc within the first few days of adjustments should have you feeling better and correction can then be obtained.

Studies show that if you can’t do a sit up, can’t do a pushup, can’t touch your toes, are more than 20Kg over weight, don’t do any flexibility training and don’t do any strength training the chances of getting back pain are very high.  Come into Pearland chiropractic before the pain comes and we will help you not ever be in this category.

Once you start your personalized Pearland chiropractic, strength and flexibility training programs things will start getting better instantly. You can’t expect to cure all back pain with this program, but there is an 80% chance that for 80% of people they’ll get themselves back 80% of good condition in just a few months.

At the focal point of chiropractic care is the nervous system. The nervous system affects every single aspect of your body. Problems with digestion, muscle pain, stress, headaches and, of course, spinal function, may all be attributed to the nervous system. Every second of each day, your body is sending electric signals through intricate channels of nerves. These channels must be in their correct positions and open for signals to flow freely and for messages to be received properly. The effective tools and techniques used in chiropractic wellness care bring harmonious balance to this complex and vital system. Many patients from Southerland Chiropractic have provided testimonials on their successful experiences with chiropractic care.
