Shoreview, MN Chiropractor, Dr Douglas Yost, Provides Effective Drug Free Solution for Headaches

Aug. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Headaches are usually not life threatening, but are very debilitating and feel like they take the life out of the sufferer.  Approximately 45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches every year, including 20 million females and 25 millions males.  This is 6.54% of the entire population or 1 out of every 6 people suffering from chronic headaches. In 2001 there were 9,876,000  doctors visits just by patients seeking headache relief.

New Research shows that spinal manipulation – the primary form of care provided by doctors of chiropractic – may be an effective treatment option for tension headaches and headaches that originate in the neck.

A report released in 2001 by researchers at the Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center in Durham, NC, found that spinal manipulation resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of tension-type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.

“Chiropractic can be a very effective tool for reducing the pain from headaches and combined with prevention techniques can be one of the best,” says Dr Douglas Yost.
