Headaches Part 2

INJECTIONS OR SURGERY.

Nerve block injections used to treat cervicogenic headaches can include: injections above the eyebrows to treat that region of the head.
injections into the back of the neck to treat pain going up the back of the head. injections into the side of the neck.

In more serious cases, surgery to treat cervicogenic headaches can include: heat to burn selected nerves of the small joints of the neck which connect each vertebrae burning nerves with heat about the face and neck fusion (removing a disc responsible for sending pain signals)

But Here’s The Good News...

While many patients who are diagnosed with cervicogenic headaches have the traditional symptoms of tension headaches, some of the patients who have the traditional symptoms of migraine (and cluster migraine) headaches also respond to cervicogenic headache diagnosis and treatment.

Now, there are headaches that don’t respond to specific, low force chiropractic care; high blood pressure, low blood sugar, hormonal changes, hangovers, dental problems, etc. These, however, are small in number in comparison with headaches that are caused by tension of the neck and head muscles, and irritation to the nerves. (The cervicogenic headache.)

Most Headache Sufferers, After Learning This Relatively New Information Regarding The Benefit Of Proper Chiropractic Care For Cervicogenic Causes Of Headaches, Wonder…

“How Do I Find A Doctor Trained In Providing This Care?”

So, my best advice is to ask the chiropractic doctor the following questions...

“Do you treat headaches?”
Some Doctors of Chiropractic do not focus on specific conditions. So ask the Chiropractor if he or she treats headaches that may originate from the neck. Some do not.

“Do you take x-rays?”
Call their office and check and see if they either have the facilities in their office to take films, or if they refer it out. Either answer is acceptable. Do not get evaluated by any chiropractor who doesn’t look at neck x-rays before rendering care.

Do you accept payment plans?
Nowadays, patients are either going with the “managed care doctor” and hoping and praying that they’ll get quality care, or paying out-of-pocket for their services. So, in response, there are many caring dentists, medical doctors, chiropractors, podiatrists, and other health care professionals that are giving patients comfortable payment options. Even though chiropractic care is inexpensive compared to most care, ask the office if they’d consider putting you on a payment plan.

Here’s What Your FREE CHECK-UP Includes…

1. Headache Consultation – I have a list of specific questions that will help discover the cause of your headache. This is also an opportunity for me to have a thorough understanding of your headaches and what you’ve been going through.

2. Examination – Aside from typical exam procedures like blood pressure, cranial nerve testing, reflexes, and vital signs, you will also receive a multi-plane head and neck range of motion study, palpatory examination, and specific orthopedic and neurological tests.

3. Static “EMG” Testing – Our office is one of the few, if not only office, that has this electronic Neurocalometer instrument. This is an important test. This painless procedure determines if there’s abnormal function of the neck nerves that communicate to your head and helps me pinpoint where your problem is.

4. Neck X-Ray – If, after the consultation, examination, and static “NCG”, it is found that x-rays are needed of the bones, discs, and soft tissue of your neck, they will be taken at this visit. In order to get a good view of all the supporting structures, at least two views will be taken; one of the front view and one of the side view.
