Rosenberg Wellness Center Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
New York City headache. It’s a condition from which many people suffer. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more often discussed types. The cervicogenic headache is associated with issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is related to the muscles of the neck caused by stress or odd head positioning. Both headache types are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Rosenberg Wellness Center.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is reported as the second most common health concern globally. A new review of published papers for its treatment explained that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for reducing headache frequency, enhancing quality of life, reducing pain intensity, and diminishing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
New York City chiropractic patients want to know why they have a headache. A recent study noted how researchers used diagnostic block testing to pinpoint the cervical spine joint source of the headache. Overall, the C2-3 level was the most common source. In patients whose chief complaint was headache over neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. In patients whose neck pain was greater than the headache, C2-3 was the source for 42%, lower cervical joints for 18%, and C3-4 for 7%. (2) Not that every New York City headache patient must experience this type of procedure to be helped, but the results were enlightening for healthcare providers to help make a diagnosis and set up a treatment plan for headache patients more beneficially.
MANUAL TREATMENT FOR HEADACHE
In a review of published clinical trials, researchers noted that spinal manipulation was employed often to manage cervicogenic headache. Spinal manipulation was effective, supplied superior, small, short term benefits for decreasing pain, headache frequency, and related disability compared with other manual approaches. (3) One relieving treatment called SNAGs (sustained natural apophyseal glides) has been described in the medical literature. In a placebo vs SNAG study, researchers found that SNAGs were effective for pain reduction and neck disability decrease and range of motion improvement for women with cervicogenic headache. (4) Manual therapy treatments like this benefit headache. Rosenberg Wellness Center provides Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as New York City headache and neck pain.
