Doctors of Chiropractic have discovered one of the most common reasons is cervical spinal degeneration, a misalignment and straightening of the neck that puts pressure on the nerves and arteries, causing them to swell. With less blood and oxygen reaching the brain a headache develops. By adjusting the cervical vertebra, less pressure is put on the nerves and arteries allowing blood and oxygen to f low to the brain.

Muscles work in conjunction with joints, such as cartilage, and bones to provide motion.
When the spinal vertebra become misaligned and irritated, it disrupts the nerve muscle relationship and causes a muscle spasm. Muscle pain can also be a symptom of a more serious problem and should be addressed immediately. If you suffer from muscle spasms, consult a Doctor of Chiropractic for evaluation.
