Headache Treatment in Matthews NC
Headaches are one of the most common conditions in the United States. Studies show 50-75% of adults experience headaches in the past year and 30% of those cases are migraine related. Most treatments for headaches include regular medication and abortive medications. While these medications help, they only mask the headache symptoms and do not help treat the underlying cause.
Many headaches are cervicogenic or arising from the neck region. A misalignment in the neck can cause nerve pressure leading to neve pain radiating to the head and other areas of the neck and upper back. At Planck Chiropractic & Rehab we provide Headache treatment in Matthews, NC and the surrounding Charlotte region focusing on these issues in the cervical spine.
