Common Causes of Headaches

It's safe to say that most of us have suffered from a headache one time or another. And while they may be a common occurrence for some, it's important to recognize that they aren't normal. Here are some common causes of headaches:

Stress can cause various chemicals to be released in your body, and can cause blood vessel changes that bring about headaches.

Certain foods like alcohol, chocolate and even caffeine have been known to trigger headaches and migraines.

Lack of sleep can be a common cause. Without proper sleep each night, our bodies can't function as they were meant to.

Carrying your head too far forward or slouching your shoulders and neck can result in tension and misaligned spinal bones.

A chiropractor can do a number of things to help provide headache relief. Spinal manipulations or adjustments can help improve your spine's function and reduce stress to your neck and shoulders, where headache pain often stems from. Call Dr. Jeffrey Klein, Klein Chiropractic Center, West Chester, PA, who can help relieve your headache pain!
