According to the latest research, nine percent of men and 12 percent of women in the U.S. experience at least 1-2 headache episodes per month. And, more than four percent of the U.S. population suffers from frequent headaches, defined as headaches that occur at least 180 days a year. Needless to say, headaches have become a social and economic burden in the United States, as well as other parts of the world.
Scientists have identified over 300 causes for headaches. Various pain-sensitive structures and tissues including the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, arteries, periosteal bone covering, and the upper cervical and facial nerves produce headaches when irritated or injured. Fortunately, only a handful of causes are responsible for the majority of headaches.
Doctors of chiropractic successfully help thousands of individuals everyday obtain safe, effective, long-term relief from their headaches. This is because most headaches have a spinal, muscular, or habitual component, which the chiropractor has been trained to identify and treat. In fact, surveys show that 10-25 percent of patients initiate chiropractic care for the relief of headaches.
