Let us ease your tension

Are you one of the 9 in 10 Americans that suffer from headaches?

If you are, you know how painful and uncomfortable they can be! Headaches can be triggered by anything- stress, eyestrain, dehydration, insomnia, even some of the foods you eat! Rather than live in agony (or of course, seek temporary relief by lying in a dark room with a cold compress on your forehead) come see us!

According to the American Chiropractic Association, research shows that spinal manipulation could be an effective option for headaches that are tension related or originate in the neck. Additionally, a chiropractor may be able to offer you some advice on ways to combat headaches, from telling you the foods you may want to avoid, to offering ways of adjusting your posture so all of that tension doesn't build in the spine. If you have a job where you sit at a desk all day, they can give helpful tips to keep the blood flowing, (which helps you feel more alert) as well as stretching techniques so you aren't stuck in a single position all day long.

I can't stress enough the importance of getting up at least once an hour to stretch. Even if you just go get a drink of water, make a trip to the bathroom, or simply stand and stretch your body- you would be amazed at how much better your body will feel long term. Another big trigger most people don't realize is how important it is to stay hydrated! Not only will it help with a multitude of other minor aches and pains (staying alert, having more energy, and not getting the "dehydration hunger pangs") but the more water you drink, the better it is for your entire system.

Don't spend one more day with a jarring headache that could ruin your whole day! Come see us at fullbodyrejuvenation.com, make an appointment, and get back to feeling your best as soon as possible!
