We know how difficult persistent headache pain can be. Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes and our staff have worked with many people in our State College, PA chiropractic clinic, and we've had great success in helping patients reduce their headache pain.
A 2016 research study verifies what we see in our office. In this report, the authors started with 110 people who were suffering with headache pain that originated in the cervical spine. 58 of these patients were given a series of neck adjustments; 52 were given some stretches and exercises. The treatment period for both groups was four weeks.
The paper found that the patients who received cervical and thoracic spinal adjustments "experienced significantly greater reductions in headache intensity, disability, headache frequency, headache duration, and medication intake as compared to the group that received mobilization and exercise."
The investigation also found that these outcomes were maintained at the three-month follow-up exam.
Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to treat chronic headache pain, back pain, neck pain, and many other health conditions. If you're tired of suffering, give Drs. Matt & Annie Reyes a call today at our State College, PA office at (814) 308-9352. We're here to help get out of pain.
