Common Headaches

Vertebral misalignments are common cause of headaches. Misalignments restrict the movement of the nerves and muscles, causing inflammation and direct impingement leading to headaches. Medications fail to alleviate headaches because they focus on only the symptom without addressing the underlying cause.
