Painful Bakersfield Tension Headaches Find Relief With Chiropractic

By John Davis


Stress is everywhere, and is not confined to modern urban life. From sheepherders to stockbrokers, threatening situations or constant pressure to produce better results trigger unhealthy reactions, and tension headaches have become commonplace. A Bakersfield CA chiropractor approaches relieving that discomfort from a alternative perspective.

People expect to pay a price for consuming too much alcohol or tobacco, but not for commuting to work, or running a household. When recurring headaches compromise daily activities, the underlying causes are sometimes physical. Headaches are considered a normal reaction by many people, but the constant discomfort they can cause is unacceptable.

Tension is a normal response to a perceived threat. An adrenaline rush helps when escaping from wild animals, but must be sublimated at work, where it is perceived as a sign of weakness. Efforts to conceal reactions are exhausting and nerve-wracking, resulting in rigid postures, throbbing head pain, nausea, and neck soreness.

Analgesics or NSAIDs relieve discomfort, but over-use reduces effectiveness. They mask symptoms but do not eliminate causes, and heavy use can contribute to liver and heart issues. Food reactions and environmental chemicals are known triggers, but the integrity of the skeletal structure itself may also be a significant factor.

Chiropractic practitioners base their philosophy on the proper alignment of the bones of the spine, which directly affects the nerve network inside. Long-term exposure to stress and other physical issues, including trauma, can cause lasting structural irregularities, decreased nerve function, and subsequent chronic head and neck pain.

Spinal adjustments are not a panacea, but are often helpful when aerobic exercise, a healthy diet, and a mentally positive attitude do not eliminate chronic headaches that arise from tension. For those tired of relying on costly medications, a visit to a chiropractic center becomes the first step towards daily living free from needless pain.
