Bottom Line:
Life can be busy and stressful. If so, you may start experiencing headaches more frequently, and they may be more severe. Chronic headaches are a good indication that your body needs attention. Lack of quality sleep, nutritional challenges and even postural issues can all contribute to developing a vicious cycle of daily headaches.
Why it Matters:
Those daily headaches are a signal from your body that something needs to change. While researchers have struggled to place an exact cause on every type of headache, they have discovered an array of risk factors that can lead to the development of chronic headaches. The foods you eat, the stress in your life, and even how you move your body and spine, can either increase or decrease the likelihood of experiencing headaches.
Next Steps:
Those daily headaches aren’t something you “have to live with.” Top research publications indicate that Chiropractic care provides 50% more relief from headaches without the risky side effects typically associated with drugs and medications.
