Hope for Headache & Migraine Sufferers in Bethelehem PA!

editor — Fri, 07 May 2010 16:42:42 +0000

As I have done research from my office in Bethlehem PA, I came across the following Headache statistics:

50 million Americans suffer from regular headaches, 12 million suffer from daily headaches,28 million suffer from migraine headaches, 20% of children suffer from headaches.

The throbbing ,pounding, skull splitting sensation of a headache is in all a common condition for millions of people each day. Headaches can affect your employment and family life tremendously in a negative way.

Ninety-five percent of headaches are primary headaches, such as tension,migraine, or cervicogenic ( neck related ) . These types of headaches or not caused by disease. The International Headache Society has classified 129 different types of headaches. These are the number one reason consumers use over-the -counter drugs.

Many people resort to medication to find relief. Unfortunately, the releif they find is often fleeting, and the pain returns once again. There is another answer. You do not have to live with this pain,or take a pill to relieve it .

The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck.

Migraine headaches are the second most common type of primary headaches. There are millions upon millions of headache sufferers,and an endless list of causes. So how do you get to the bottom of your headache situation,or help someone you love to to understand their particular headache situation?

New research shows that spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment – the primary form of care provided by Doctors of Chiropractic – may be 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 or chiropractic adjustments resulted in almost immediate improvement for those headaches that originate in the neck, and had longer lasting relief of tension type of headaches than a commonly prescribed medication.

Also, a 1995 study in the Journal of Manipuative and Physiological therapeutics found that spinal manipulation/ chiropractic adjustment is an effective treatment for tension headaches and those who ceased chiropractic treatment after four weeks experienced a sustained therapeutic benefit in contrast with those patients who received a commonly prescribed medication.

I am the first Doctor be it Chiropractic or Medical in the Lehigh Valley that offers a genetic supplement, which repairs damaged DNA. Why is that so important you ask? I will tell you why . This supplement is not sold over the counter it is only offered through my office because of the potentcy. Damaged DNA is our genetic make up as human beings. When you have damaged DNA you also have illness such as heart diease, kidney disease, diabetes and cancer to name a few. Along with these illness come premature aging. This supplement not only repairs the damaged DNA ,but it also repairs damaged cells. No Other vitamin I know of out there that is sold over the counter can do this. When you take these supplements you will notice increased energy, better sleep, optimal mental focus,increased immunity,more vibrant skin,healthier hair and nail growth, improved body composition,more stamina,and overal better health and wellness.
