Hello Cheyenne! If you are searching for treatment of your headaches or migraines look no further. We offer specialized chiropractic care and treatment programs for headaches and migraines that will get you out of pain as quick as possible, as well as correct your headache and migraine problem so you can achieve long term relief. However, we don’t use drugs or surgery to correct your headaches or migraines. Those things just mask your problem! We focus on discovering what’s causing your headaches and migraines and then we develop a treatment program designed specifically for you so you can get the relief you want and deserve.
How do we do this? It’s a three step process…
1. We find out EXACTLY what’s causing the headaches and migraines…
Your brain and spinal cord control all health and function in your body so it is amazing that there are still some chiropractors who never take x-rays. We will never guess when our patient’s health is at stake. Our office uses advanced technology including nerve scans and digital x-ray software and analysis to find out exactly which vertebrae are misaligned, which direction they’re misaligned and how much they’re misaligned… down to the millimeter and degree. If you are suffering from headaches and migraines, then you are probably pinching a nerve in the upper cervical spine and that is what is causing you your pain. When this happens this is called a cervico-genic headache. Research has shown that up to 90% of headaches and migraines are cervicogenic headaches and have been misdiagnosed as “tension headaches”, “stress headaches”, “sinus headaches”, “cluster headaches” etc! The only way to get rid of headaches and migraines caused by pinched nerves in the upper cervical spine is to re-align the vertebrae that is pressing on the nerve. Dr. Thompson is trained in the top two leading spinal rehab techniques in the world that have been proven to be clinically effective at correcting spinal alignment so you not only get quick relief from your headaches or migraines, but you also can get long term correction of what’s causing your headaches and migraines without drugs or future surgeries. You simply wont get this from other chiropractic offices that don’t have the proper diagnostic equipment or the training on how to permanently correct neck misalignment that can cause headaches and migraines.
2. We get rid of your headaches and migraines FAST…
Depending on what we find on your x-rays; how many vertebrae are misaligned, how much they’re misaligned, and how much degeneration is present, we will develop a plan to get you relief of your headaches and migraines as fast as possible. That is always our first priority. To use the best chiropractic care to get our Cheyenne residents relief from their headaches or migraines as quickly as possible so they can get back to work and begin enjoying life again.
3. We give you advice and options for OPTIMUM correction of your headache and/or migraine problems…
Research shows that many times you won’t perceive headaches or migraines until you get up to 40% compression of the nerve root that is causing them. What this means is that by the time you first feel experience the headaches and migraines, the vertebrae has actually been compressing on the nerve in your upper neck for months or even years! Again, our staff is trained in advanced spinal rehabilitation procedures beyond what’s taught in traditional chiropractic school so our Cheyenne and surrounding area residents have the option of not only getting relief from their headaches and migraines quickly but also of correcting their spinal misalignment and stabilizing it so it decreases the chance of their headaches and migraines returning. We will review all different treatment options for your headache and migraine problems and we will come up with a plan that meets your goals for long term headache and migraine relief.
