The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system, which is the only system that is directly protected by bones. The spine is made up of these bones. When certain bones in the neck are out of alignment and unable to move properly, they can put a strain on the nervous system and surrounding muscles, causing headaches. Regardless of the type of headache (tension vs. migraine) or the cause, chiropractic care can be an effective and non-invasive approach to preventing and relieving headaches (stress vs. posture). It’s critical to have a chiropractic examination to determine the best course of action for reducing the frequency of these headaches and eliminating them completely.
