Ouch, my head hurts.

I could never say in the morning, "I have a headache and cannot do thus and so". Headache or no headache, thus and so had to be done."   Eleanor Roosevelt

Who hasn't experienced this before, life must go on despite the pain throbbing in your temples.  The common reaction is usually just to reach for the bottle of pain killers. With pain reliever, think long-term.  They only mask the problem, so it is likely to return. This results in the consumption of more medication. Not only is this risky, but very costly.
  
Instead consider chiropractic care.  Chiropractic care is not only safer, but cheaper, less invasive, and long-lasting.  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% of patients initiate chiropractic care for the relief of headaches. 
So don't reach for the pain pills, it's not worth it in the long run.  Getting regular chiropractic care is similar to visiting your dentist.  Routine dental care helps your teeth remain healthy for a long time. The same is true of chiropractic care for your spine. It is important to remember that, just like your teeth, your spine experiences normal wear and tear as you  hunch over the computer, sit in traffic, rush to take the stairs to get to your appointment on time and slump on the couch watching t.v.
All sound familiar?  Do yourself and your body a favor, make an appointment with your chiropractor to resolve your headaches once and for all.
