Headaches From My Lower Back???

Monday, October 4th, 2010

At the Denver Headache Health Center, Dr. Visentin D.C. has found that headaches are very common. Over 90% of the population has experienced one at some point. They are a signal that something is wrong. In most cases, headaches are the result of spinal misalignments, emotional stress, physical trauma, chemical toxins or a combination of factors.

Most people react to headache with over-the-counter pain relievers. The constant use of drugs to treat headaches can come with serious consequences though. Kidney failure and liver damage have both been documented in patients that have used pain relievers excessively. What’s worse is that the underlying cause of the headache is never addressed.

Most patients that visit the Denver Headache Health Center are surprised to find that their headaches can be caused by problems in their lower back. A person’s spine supports the weight of their head. If there is a misalignment in the lower back, the upper spine has to compensate for that. The head will then shift off center as a result, causing a build up of stress that can lead to headaches. These misalignments – or “subluxations” – will affect muscles, nerves and even the blood flow to the head.

A subluxation occurs when a bone in the spine shifts out of place. This disrupts the communication between the brain and body by the central nervous system. Muscles can go into spasm and the spinal bones freeze up, cutting off adjacent nerves. This can cause disruptions in the control and regulation of vital bodily functions.

What Causes Subluxation?

The three basic causes are physical, emotional or chemical. Physical causes include accidents, slips or falls, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotions affect alignment as well, examples include; anger, stress and fear. Drugs, alcohol, preservatives in food, poor diet and environmental pollution are all chemical causes of subluxation.

Regular care is the Key

When there are disruptions in nerve communication, it can cause health problems beyond headaches and back pain. The nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. If there are clear pathways for the nerve impulses to travel through the spine, the body can stay balanced for optimal health. Chiropractic care is the only way to detect subluxations and address the cause of headaches in a natural, non-invasive manner.

Spinal problems aren’t the only cause of headaches, but a thorough chiropractic evaluation will uncover the most common cause of headache, (subluxation).

Some patients get immediate relief with chiropractic care. In others, the symptoms slowly resolve over weeks. It takes some time for patients that have experienced chronic headaches for many years. Chiropractic adjustments are the key to easing one’s suffering and raising the overall quality of life. If you are suffering from headaches, and are in the Denver area, contact Dr. Visentin, D.C. at the Denver Headache Health Center.  Call (303) 394-CARE (2273).

Why Did I Wait?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

“Why did I wait, I can’t believe I lived with this pain so long.  All the time I was suffering I could have been feeling great.”  At Care Chiropractic, we hear these remarks so often, that we wonder why anyone hesitates to get care.  What we do works so well, it makes waiting seem pointless.  Here’s a letter from one of our many patients who suffered migraines for years.

“I had terrible migraines and sinus headaches along with mid back pain from being a nurse.  These migraines would stop me from doing my activities at work, caring for my children and housework.  I went to see Dr. V. and he gave me my life back.  He is wonderful.  I can enjoy my life again.” –M.M.

Sometimes we grow so used to hurting, we think it’s “normal” for us.  Our pain goes on and on until we accept it and see no other way.  This is terrible, and should never happen but it is a regular occurrence.  When people finally receive effective care at our center, it’s almost like a light bulb goes on above their heads.  They discover they can live a different kind of life and live pain-free for once and for all.

What are your chances of being headache free?  You will never know unless you call, (303) 394-CARE(2273).

Why Suffer Needlessly?

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Our results can be so dramatic for headache sufferers, I sometimes wonder why people hesitate to get care.

Below is a testimonial from one of our many patients who is now, headache-free.

“I suffered from headaches for a year.  These headaches were so severe they brought on vomiting episodes that lasted two days!  I sought help through general practitioners.  They prescribed migraine medicine that made my symptoms worse.  A friend told me about Dr. Visentin, and I went to see him as a last resort.  It turns out that my headaches were the result of subluxation in my neck area.  Subluxation means, bones out of alignment interfering with the nervous system.  After three adjustments, my headaches were gone and the vomiting episodes stopped.  I feel that I have more energy.  Thanks to Dr. Visentin.” – Lindsay O.

There is no benefit to suffering needlessly.  There is nothing “noble” about it.  Our care is

-         affordable

-         safe

-         gentle and

-         very effective.

Don’t wait.  Call (303) 394-CARE (2273)
