Headache Denver

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Everyday at my center we help people who have suffered with headaches for years.  In many instances we can trace their pain back to a car accident they had years ago.  Read this case history of one of the many patients we’ve helped with whiplash symptoms that came on long after the accident.

“My first visit to Dr. V’s office was about three weeks ago and at that time I had constant lower back pain and headaches everyday.  At first I was skeptical, since this was all new to me.  I was assured by Dr. V that I would get the help I needed.  I found him to be very helpful as he explained in detail the seriousness of my injuries.  After a few visits, the aching and the headaches seemed to increase.  I was told that it would take time to heal.  My injuries began many years ago due to a car accident.  After my fourth visit, my headache was gone and I have not had one since!  Overall I feel better but I know it will take time before I’m completely well. I believe chiropractic care will keep me healthy.  I encourage all of you to continue with your treatments.  Dr. V is a caring, professional that can help you.”                    Debbie G.

Accidents can bend car frames and the human frame as well.  When bones move out of alignment in the neck, it can lead to a lifetime of:

-         headaches,

-         fatigue,

-         difficulty sleeping,

-         loss of memory, and

-         loss of concentration.

Many times, victims of car accidents are unaware of the true origin of their problems till we discover it during a thorough exam.

If you’re wondering what’s causing your headache, give our center a call.  We offer a free examination to see if our advanced headache program may help you.  After the initial analysis, we will report to you and your spouse or significant other.  The findings may astound you.  Call now (303) 394-CARE (2273).

3 Natural Ways to Get Rid of Your Headaches

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

In our Denver Headache Health Center we always promote these 3 natural and effective ways to help get rid of your headaches.

1. Drink plenty of water – Dehydration is often the cause of headaches. Before you reach for the bottle of Aspirin, make sure you are well hydrated! So how much water should you be drinking? Drink half your weight in ounces of water each day. For example, a 150 pound person would divide their weight in half and drink 75 ounces of water per day. One easy way to do this is to get a large water bottle with ounce measurements on the side. Fill it up and take it with you throughout your day. If you do not have a water bottle with measurements, there are 8 ounces in one cup of water. Divide your total daily ounces by 8 and that is how many cups of water you should be drinking everyday!

What Is A TMJ Headache?

Monday, July 12th, 2010

According to the American Dental Association about 60 million Americans have temporomandibular joint syndrome or TMJS.  The symptoms include headaches, sore jaw joint, difficulty chewing and talking.

Muscular and structural irregularities in the jaw caused by stress, trauma, and dental problems can aggravate the jaw joint.  The jaw is very sensitive because of the amount of nerves that go there. 

 Many of our patients swear by gentle adjustments to the jaw that actually relieve headaches.  To see if you qualify for this kind of care, call (303) 394-CARE (2273).  Adjustments realign the jawbone and create normal healthful movements.
