The Myofascial massage technique, for example, is useful for releasing muscle tension and knots that can cause discomfort and limitations on motion range. This technique uses gentle, sustained pressure to release muscle fibers without the use of oils, lotions or massage-like motions. When used properly, the Myofascial massage technique can also prevent future injuries and help improve the body's response to spinal adjustments.

What’s Causing Your Headaches?

Tension headaches and migraines are sometimes prompted by food. Eating foods with nitrate compounds such as processed meats may spark headache pain. Nitrates dilate blood vessels which in turn causes pounding or aching in your head. MSG (monosodium glutamate), most often found in packaged foods, is known to set off a headache. Foods high in amino acids such as ripened cheeses, chocolate, pickled and fermented foods may also spark tension or migraine headache.

The good news is that chiropractic care has been proven to significantly reduce headache pain and help with pain management. Spinal adjustments assist in re-aligning your neck and the spine, which helps reduce and eliminate pain in your head. Massage therapy is another treatment to relax tense muscles in your neck and back which aides in alleviating headache pain. Acupuncture or Trigger Point Therapy can target specific areas and muscles that are causing head pain. Our Lindenhurst chiropractor will create a chiropractic care plan by combining different these different techniques.
