Headaches

Pain is our body’s innate warning system, whether it presents itself in headaches, back pain, neck pain, stomach pain (you name it)! It is the body’s way of alerting us that something is wrong and should be corrected in order to prevent further damage.

We have been taught since childhood that the solution to pain is an aspirin/ibuprofen/etc. This is akin to spray painting the red light on your vehicle dashboard and assuming that the underlying problem has been dealt with!

Headaches are common and have thereby been accepted as a part of daily living, and masked with over the counter pain killers so we can carry on. These OTC pain killers have side effects such as stomach bleeding, liver toxicity, and rebound headaches, and may lead to further health problems. In order to be truly healthy and live a pain-free, joyful life, we must find the cause of the pain and eliminate it at the source.

The most common causes of persistent and/or recurring headaches are blood sugar and/or hormonal imbalance, allergies, toxicity, muscle spasms, endocrine (adrenal, thyroid) imbalances, and liver stressors. Alternative medicine addresses each and every one of these causes with solutions that are safe and effective. Solutions often require only minimal changes in diet and/or lifestyle, supplementation, chiropractic manipulative therapy, and/or simple detoxification. If the cause of your headaches proves to be an allergen, the allergic reaction can be easily eliminated. Please see informaton on allergies.
