Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic Offers Chiropractic Care for Headache Relief
Montreal headache. It’s a condition many people experience. Cervicogenic and tension-type headaches are two of the more commonly talked about types. The cervicogenic headache is related to issues with the cervical disc, facets, and joints. The tension-type headache is linked to the muscles of the neck generated by stress or peculiar head positioning. Both headache forms are responsive to gentle, safe stretching type treatment like Cox® Technic used at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic.
SOURCE OF TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE: Neck Muscle, Stress, Position
Tension type headache is noted as the second most common health concern globally. A recent review of published studies for its care explained that manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical therapy, acupuncture, psychological care, and patient education were as beneficial for reducing headache frequency, improving quality of life, lessening pain intensity, and diminishing stress symptoms.

SOURCE OF HEADACHE: Cervical Joint
Montreal chiropractic patients want to understand the source of their headache. A current study detailed how researchers utilized diagnostic block testing to find the cervical spine joint source of the headache. In general, the C2-3 level was the most frequent source. In patients whose dominant complaint was headache over neck pain, the C2-3 was the source for 62%, C1-2 for 7%, and C3-4 for 6%. For 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 Montreal headache patient must undergo this type of procedure to be taken care of, but the results were interesting for healthcare providers to aid make a diagnosis and set up a treatment plan for headache patients in a better way.
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, provided 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 explained how SNAGs were good 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. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic uses Cox® Technic, a gliding, doctor-controlled neck treatment for such conditions as Montreal headache and neck pain.
