Press Release Body = Do you feel like you are the only one who constantly suffers from painful headaches? You are not alone. The National Headache Foundation estimates that over 45 million Americans get chronic, recurring headaches every year. Also, the American Council for Headache Education found that about 90% of men and 95% of women have had at least one headache in the past year.
The resulting financial impact has been great. The National Headache Foundation has estimated that industry loses 50 billion dollars every year due to medical expenses and missed work because of headaches. In fact they estimate that headache and migraine sufferers lose about 157 million workdays every year.
Dr. Angelo Karakasis who is a doctor of chiropractic in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania says that chiropractic is often overlooked as a viable way to reduce or stop headaches altogether. \"After treating so many headache cases, I\'ve learned that most people\'s head pain seems to come about because of the neck. The joints and nerves in the upper neck, the muscles of the upper shoulder, and the muscles of the TM joint, which is in the jaw. Those three are the keys to headache pain,\" said Dr. Karakasis.
Chiropractic seeks to treat headache and other pains without the use of medications or surgery. Dr. Karakasis said, \"The body is the world\'s greatest pharmacy. You shouldn\'t need to take aspirin for a headache because the body has all the tools it needs. But if the nervous system isn\'t functioning at 100%, those signals get disrupted which harms the bodies ability to heal itself in a natural way. That\'s what chiropractic seeks to correct in an all natural drug-free way.\"
