Lincoln Cervicogenic Headache Treatment

We know how difficult long-term headache pain can be. Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 and our staff have worked with many people in our Lincoln chiropractic office, and we've had great success in helping folks eliminate their headache pain.

Research Shows Chiropractic Helps With Cervicogenic Headaches

A 2016 research study confirms what we see in our office. In this study, the authors started with 110 individuals who were suffering with 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 study found that the patients 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 headache, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 a call today at our Lincoln office at (402) 484-5177. We're here to help get you out of pain.
