Is everyday life becoming a bit of a headache? Find yourself reaching for those painkillers more often than you should be? Your spine could be to blame!
According to our Stoke on Trent chiropractor, back pain and headaches are often related.
But how exactly can your spine cause your head to hurt?
One of the most common reasons for spine associated headaches is pinched nerves in the neck and upper back. Pain from pinched nerves can be severe and may be also lead to other symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo and nausea.
Stress is also guilty of causing back pain and headaches. This stress can be emotional, circumstantial or even caused by some other health concern. For example, some patients who worry about their back pain experience frequent headaches.
The health of your spine can have a direct impact on your overall health. Give your back the TLC it deserves.
