CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Take an Active Role in Your Headache Relief
The best part? Relief is not something that just happens to you—you can actively add to your own healing process! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies produces the best outcomes for headache sufferers. A comprehensive systematic review found that exercise therapy ranks among the most effective interventions for cervicogenic headache (4), and clinical practice guidelines recommend therapeutic exercises you can do at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more exciting, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are showing promise as adjunctive therapies that patients can use independently to manage their symptoms. (6) By combining professional chiropractic care with focused exercises and innovative self-care tools, you're not just treating your headaches—you're empowering yourself to take control of your health and build lasting resilience!
