CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Take an Active Role in Your Headache Relief

And isn't 'together' the best part? You don't have to rely only on in-office treatments—you can be an active partner in your own healing! Research shows that combining professional care with self-management strategies brings about the best outcomes for headache sufferers. An inclusive 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 perform at home as first-line approaches for persistent neck-related headaches. (5) Even more exciting, emerging technologies like external vagus nerve stimulation are promising as adjunctive therapies that patients can use on their own to manage their symptoms.
