Can headaches be caused by exercise?
The answer is most definitely yes.
Now before you begin to cancel your membership at the gym, allow me to explain.
A few weeks ago a new client came in complaining of headaches, neck pain and discomfort. There was no question there was a problem going on, since his muscles in the neck and shoulders were extremely tight and neck vertebrae were out of alignment.
Typically Jefferson GA chiropractors would normally make the adjustment and put things back into place. But the question that always gets me is ... Why?
Why is the neck out of joint? Why are the muscles so tight? I began a journey of digging and exploring for possible reasons. The patient told me that he was exercising every day to keep his adjustment in place.
I asked him to demonstrate the exercises one by one. It was soon very obvious what the problem was. He was doing crunches incorrectly and was using his neck muscles instead of the abdoman muscles to do his exercises. On top of this he was doing them very quickly with a jerking motion of the neck.
We then took the time to show him the correct way to do crunches. As you would expect by his next treatment there was a big improvement!
That's just one of the things that makes our Jefferson GA chiropractic services different. We will take the time to talk with you about your lifestyle. We will ask questions to isolate potential problems and then we will seek to correct them, not simply by an adjustment with an activator, but by modifying the behavior that originally caused it.
The result?
Adjustments last longer and the patient does not have to come in as often.
Talk to your chiropractor take a moment to show him your exercise routine and he will help you make any necessary adjustments in the way you are doing them.
