The Common Headache: Some People are Finding the Answer to This Painful Malady Without Medication
Millions of Americans are afflicted with headaches everyday. Finally, a chiropractor from Oceanside, New York, is having tremendous success without medication!
(PRWEB) July 4, 2005 -- Headache statistics in our country are astronomical.
According to the American Headache Society:
* Every 10 seconds, someone
in the United States goes to the emergency room with a headache or migraine.
* More than $1 billion is spent on over-the-counter medications to treat
headaches and Migraines.
* The lost work due to migraine disease costs
more than $13 billion every year in the U.S.
These are just a few of the
thousands of statistics that are available about headaches and their impact on
society. If people stop to think about it they may wonder, when technology
exists that puts humans on the moon and cameras on Mars, why have we not found a
solution to the problems associated with migraines and the common
headache.
New medications are constantly introduced claiming to prevent
and cure the pain and frequency of headaches, but statistics continue to show
that they are not working, and a “miracle drug” for headaches and migraines has
yet to be found.
Perhaps we have been looking for the solution in the
wrong place. Is it possible that the solution lies not in the hands of giant
pharmaceutical companies, but someplace you can actually visit, and perhaps in a
building you pass everyday on your way to work or elsewhere?Could the solution
be so simple that it can be found in your neighborhood chiropractic
office?
Many sufferers frequently turn to chiropractic care for
treatment. Unfortunately, one of the biggest misconceptions about chiropractors
is that they are “back crackers”, and exist only to help people with back and
neck problems. This misconception is so far from the truth that if people could
get beyond it they would find that a chiropractor could be the “miracle” they’ve
been looking for.
One chiropractor that has had tremendous success
treating headaches and migraines naturally is Lee Weiner, D.C., of Oceanside
Sports Chiropractic in Oceanside, New York. He has learned through education and
experience that poor posture and spinal injuries are major causes of headaches,
and by simply taking the pressure off of irritated nerves and/or relaxing the
muscles attached to the skull, the intensity and recurrence rate of headaches
and migraines can drastically be improved.
"Poor posture and spinal
injuries causes the spine to come out of alignment," explained Dr. Weiner. "When
this occurs the surrounding nerves are irritated causing the muscles to go into
spasm. The spasmed muscles, which attach onto the skull, cause a viselike pain
in the head. Chiropractic adjustments to the vertebra takes the pressure off the
irritated nerves and allows the muscles to relax."
Dr. Weiner treats
headache patients daily, and though many are skeptical at first (especially if
they are among the millions who have tried every pill available and found no
relief), they are often amazed at the results they get. One of Dr. Weiner’s
patients, Mike Bottelli, reports, "I had a severe accident on the job several
years ago in which a door fell onto my head. I had severe headaches since that
day. The headaches were so bad I could not even make it through the day at work.
Since I have been going to Dr. Weiner my headaches have disappeared. Even my 8
year old daughter noticed."
Stories like this are not uncommon for
chiropractic patients of Dr. Weiner. Melissa Pina relied heavily on
over-the-counter medications. She finally found Dr. Weiner and after a few
treatments stated, "I no longer have the need to take Motrin." Another patient,
Jayne Carlton, who, along with back pain also suffered from frequent headaches,
added, "I am happy to say that my back doesn't hurt and my headaches are
rare."
Dr. Weiner is currently accepting new patients, so if you live or
work in Oceanside, Long Beach, Rockville Centre, or the surrounding New York
areas and need headache relief or chiropractic care, you can make an appointment
by calling (516) 255-0272. Although Dr. Weiner is best known for his success
with headache relief, his clinic offers various other chiropractic programs and
treatments, including Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Orthotics, Diagnostic
Testing, and more.
Dr. Weiner graduated Suma Cum Laude from Life
University in 1998. His postgraduate studies include receiving the CCEP
(Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner) designate. This certification
enables him to treat and rehabilitate sports injuries to the shoulders, elbows,
wrists, hips, knees, and feet. He is also a Personal Trainer certified through
the American Council on Exercise. Oceanside Sports Chiropractic is a member of
the Oceanside Chamber Of Commerce, and Dr. Weiner was recently accepted for
membership on the Internet’s most exclusive chiropractor directory, www.therightchiropractor.com.
