Headaches 

Headaches are considered by some to be one of the most frequent complaints, and have been identified as the fifth most common reason for chiropractic treatment. A study conducted in 1977-1978 indicated that headaches were the 11th most frequent reason for a visit to the doctor. It is estimated that one person in three suffers from severe headaches at some point in life. Recent evidence suggests that chiropractic treatments can reduce the number of headaches by half.

Most persons afflicted with mild recurrent or isolated headaches do not consult physicians, therefore, the true incidence is unknown. If you live in Wichita and you have headaches, call Hancock Chiropractic today. One recent survey demonstrated that in some populations, 70-90 percent of subjects questioned admitted to having at least one headache in the previous year, with a similar incidence reported in children. Almost none of these sought the help of a chiropractor. Hancock Chiropractic encourages everyone that experiences headaches to make the chiropractor their first stop. Another study conducted in Scandinavia indicated that 75 percent of children reported having had significant head pain by 15 years of age.

World-wide, more than 13,000 tons of aspirin are consumed per year, with a major portion utilized for the relief of headache. Unfortunetely this is a temporary solution that masks a much more complicated condition.

A STUDY OF 6,000 PEOPLE WHO SUFFERED FROM RECURRING HEADACHES FOR 2 TO 25 YEARS SHOWED THAT SPINE INJURY WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE CAUSE OF THE HEADACHE.
