Headaches have many causes or triggers.  These may include foods, environmental stimuli and/or behavioral patterns.    Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension, migraine, or cluster headaches.  Some of these headaches are also referred to as cervicogenic, originating from the neck (cervical spine).  These types are not caused by disease.  The headache itself is the primary concern.  If one of these are the kind of headaches you are experiencing, you’re in luck because chiropractic can help.

Research shows that spinal manipulation which is the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic  is an effective treatment for tension headaches and other headaches that originate in the neck.

What Can a Doctor of Chiropractic Do?

We have been using the Bax 3000 in our office for the last year and have seen some amazing results with patients that have allergy symptoms. We have seen patients with food sensitivities, seasonal allergies, sinusitis, migraines, irritable bowel, and even asthma get relief with this technique.

The alternative Medicine Encyclopedia defines allergies as “abnormal or inappropriate reactions of the nervous system that occur in response to otherwise harmless substances.” We utilize a technique called NSRT (Neurological Stress Reduction Therapy) that combines laser acupuncture treatments with homeopathy to balance the body’s inappropriate reaction to substances that can trigger allergy symptoms.

NSRT helps to eliminate the stress that the offending substance has on the body’s neurological system. It does this by balancing the body’s response to those substances using laser treatments and homeopathy. The Bax 3000 has the ability to measure stress levels in the Autonomic Nervous System and to identify substances that cause those stress levels to rise. The procedure then allows us to positively recondition the body’s response to the stressful stimulus utilizing laser treatments to the body’s acupuncture system – all of which will allow the body to no longer respond in a stressful manner – the result of which is often elimination of common allergy symptoms.

Call us now to set up an appointment for a complimentary consultation.

We can also rule out other issues that may contribute to your allergy symptoms, including spine related problems and nutritional deficiencies. In the majority of cases the proper treatment will alleviate your symptoms and make you less dependent on allergy medications and their unwanted side effects. Many of our patients are now able to mow their grass, cut their weeds, sleep with their pets and eat foods that previously produced symptoms.
