Stats on Headaches
Headaches occur across populations and are extremely common—according to the World Health Organization, an estimated 47 percent of the worldwide adult population has experienced a headache at least one time in the past year. Research shows that women experience headaches more frequently than men, although scientists and researchers aren’t exactly sure why.
While there are more than 200 kinds of headaches, the “Tension Type Headache” is the most frequently seen. Episodic tension headaches reportedly affect 70 percent of some populations and 1 to 3 percent of adults suffer from chronic tension headaches. A tension headache causes pressure and dull pain around the forehead, sides or back of the head.
Migraine Headaches
Migraines are the most severe type of headache and can completely debilitate the sufferer. Other symptoms of migraine headaches:
- Dizziness
- Sensitivity to light
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Blurred vision
Trauma, Toxins & Thoughts
There are many different causes of headaches, but as chiropractors, we look at the three Ts: trauma, toxins and thoughts. Trauma consists of accidents and injuries; toxins from chemical exposure, everyday skin and beauty products, food additives and alcohol; thoughts are emotional and mental factors like stress, anxiety and depression.

Treating Headaches with Chiropractic in Columbus, OH
These three Ts also contribute to subluxations in the spine—chiropractors treat these subluxations, which prevent proper communication from the brain to the body. When a subluxation occurs, one or more spinal vertebrate move out of position, and stress or irritation is placed on nearby nerves, preventing the body from healing properly.
Multiple studies have found a correlation between chiropractic adjustments and the reduction of migraine and headache symptoms. A case study, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, details the experience of a 52-year-old woman who had suffered chronic migraines for many years, typically experiencing an episode once a month, lasting around 15 hours. The patient received chiropractic spinal manipulative treatment (CMST; a.k.a., chiropractic adjustments), and at a six-month follow-up, the patient reported zero migraines since the CMST.
