If you’ve ever suffered a headache, you know how crippling it can be. From dull throbs to sharp, persistent pain, headaches affect roughly one in three people—and nine in ten Americans experience them at some point.
Triggers range from poor posture and stress to dehydration and spinal misalignments. In fact, spinal issues are involved in up to 80% of all headaches. And in today’s digital world, “Tech Neck” is making things worse—especially in Eatonton GA where screen time is soaring across all ages.
The Research Is Clear
Studies from Harvard Medical School and the University of Odense found chiropractic care dramatically reduces headache frequency, intensity, and reliance on pain medications. Another study from Duke University showed that spinal manipulation provides faster, longer-lasting relief than common prescription drugs for tension headaches.
What You Can Do Right Now
- Stretch every 30–60 minutes if you’re in a fixed position—especially at a desk or screen.
- Try low-impact exercise like walking or gentle aerobics to relieve tension.
- Avoid clenching your jaw—this strains the TMJ and can lead to tension headaches.
- Drink 8 glasses of water per day—dehydration is a common headache trigger.
How Chiropractic Can Help
- Spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and improve nerve flow.
- Nutrition advice—including B vitamins that support nervous system health.
- Posture and ergonomic guidance to prevent Tech Neck from causing chronic strain.
