At Goode Integrative Health Care, our approach for headaches is two-fold:• We remove pressure on the
nerves caused by spinal misalignments.• We reduce the tension in the neck muscles to minimize nerve
pressure due to tight muscles. This strategy works for headache sufferers in our office, and several studies
have found it to be effective as well. A study conducted by the New Zealand government found that the
majority of people who suffered from spinal misalignments had their headaches relieved or their condition
improved through chiropractic care. In follow-up studies with the same patients, it was found that many
were still without recurring headache pain two years later.

Of course, not all headaches can be helped with chiropractic care, but if you suffer from persistent migraine
or tension headaches, you owe it to yourself to call Goode Integrative Health Care for an appointment to see
if we can help you. If not, we can refer you to another health care professional who can.

HEADACHES ARE A PAIN
Headaches affect not just the headache sufferer, but also his or her
family. An estimated 45 million Americans suffer from severe,
recurring attacks of migraine and tension headaches, and they spend
more than $400 million each year on over-the-counter and
prescription drugs in their search for permanent relief. For some, the
medication works, but for many, the relief obtained is temporary at
best. A cycle of headaches and medication can occur without any
lasting relief. This is why many headache sufferers are taking the
natural approach to combat recurring headache pain, through
chiropractic care.
Recent studies link headache pain to nerve irritation. In a study conducted at the University of Maryland,
researchers found a connection between muscle tension at the base of the neck and headaches. Muscle
contractions can interfere with the sensitive fibers in this area that lead to the brain and spinal cord.
Muscle tension is often a contributing factor to headaches. Other studies have shown that a vast majority
of migraine sufferers had misalignments of the spinal vertebrae in the neck that were placing pressure on
the spinal nerves.

BACK PAIN PROBLEMS
Eight out of 10 Americans suffer from recurrent back pain. Back pain
accounts for more workers compensation claims than any other
single ailment, costing some $20 billion each year. A federal
government study released in 1994 found chiropractic care to be
one of the most effective methods in treating low back pain.
Through chiropractic care, many people can be helped to conquer
their pain and live a more active life without the need for
expensive drugs and surgery.

Most back pain results from musculoskeletal disorders – injury,
neglect or misuse. Your spinal column forms a protective canal that
houses the spinal cord, your body’s primary communication line.
Poor posture, lack of exercise, overexertion and misuse can build up
over time and force a vertebrae or disc out of place. This
misalignment can put pressure on sensitive spinal nerves,
interrupting the nerve flow and causing pain and other related
problems.
The Doctor and staff at Goode Integrative Health Care are especially skilled in correcting spinal misalignments.
Their diagnostic capabilities enable them to pinpoint structural problems that are causing nerve interference.
Their safe and gentle treatment methods offer patients relief from pain and restored function and mobility of
affected joints. They then help patients maintain a symptom-free lifestyle by educating them on proper care
and maintenance of a healthy back and nervous system.
