We are all in pain. Different kinds of pain, but pain.

But almost all of us have experienced headaches in Bremerton at some point in our lives.

Tension headache is the most common type of headache and feels like a tight band around the head.

It can be a dull thumping, radiating pain, or intense pain behind the eyes.

There isn't a specific cause for tension headaches but can be triggered by:

• Caffeine & Alcohol
• Stress
• Poor posture
• Sinus problems
• Dehydration
• Lack of proper nutrients
• Fatigue
• Irregular sleeping and/ or eating patterns
• Eyestrain
• Sensory overstimulation
• Muscle contractions in the face

Tension headaches can usually be treated by OTC pain meds.

But, these are usually addictive and reduce the body’s resistance to diseases and pain, as well as weakens the body’s strength, as it does the work for it and the body slowly but surely forgets the bodily responses to discomfort.

This also makes the body more vulnerable to pain in the future and becomes a cycle.

Chiropractic Care for Headaches in Bremerton WA

Chiropractic care or chiro-care at Bremerton Wellness is a part of complementary and alternative medicine. It is a non-invasive medicinal treatment wherein the body is forced into relaxing and relieving pain so that the body heals itself.

Bremerton Chiropractors could use different treatments for tension headaches depending upon the trigger cause of the headache, severity, patient health condition, etc.:

1. Lifestyle and nutritional changes: When the problem is the trigger cause and it is a lifestyle or nutritional problem, the chiropractors make suggestions with the best interests of the patient in mind to quickly help their recovery. This can even be used alongside other treatments as a follow-up or as supplementary support.
2. Laser, Ultrasound, Ice/heat, electric stimulation therapy: These therapies are great for pain management as the specific radiations (laser in laser, soundwaves in ultrasound, electric currents in electric stimulation therapy, heat in heat therapies, and cold in ice therapy) flow under the skin and relax and heal the problem area.
3. Chiropractic adjustments: This type of treatment wherein the chiropractors use either the hands or instruments to manipulate the spine into alignment and to relieve pain by applying controlled or sudden force to the spine.
4. Spinal decompression: the treatment where the spine is slowly elongated and stretched in different angles, directions, and levels to decompress the inwardly compressed vertebrae and realign the spine and pop back the discs into place, fixing posture, improving circulation and healing.
