Is That Advil Really Helping You?
While there are many different causes of headaches, there has never been a documented case where the underlying issue was an Advil deficiency! Over-the-counter medications like Advil, Tylenol, and aspirin may offer short-term relief, but they often just mask symptoms while the root cause of the problem continues to worsen.
If you’re tired of relying on temporary fixes, it’s time to consider a more lasting solution.
The Upper Cervical Chiropractic Difference
At our clinic, we’ve seen remarkable improvements in patients who suffered from chronic headaches. And we’re not alone. A growing body of research supports the effectiveness of upper cervical specific chiropractic care in helping people with various types of headaches—including tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches.
One such report from the Palmer Research Clinic documented positive outcomes in approximately 1,000 headache patients, with many experiencing significant relief or complete resolution of their headaches through upper cervical chiropractic care.
What the Research Says
A major literature review conducted by a panel of 19 multidisciplinary experts concluded:
“Spinal adjustments resulted in almost immediate improvement for cervicogenic headaches and had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief for tension-type headaches than a commonly prescribed medication.”

1296 Fewer Headaches!
Another powerful study by Dr. Erin Elster looked at 101 chronic headache sufferers. In the 30 days prior to starting upper cervical care, these patients experienced a total of 1,407 headaches—that’s about 14 headaches per person.
After completing their care program, the same group reported only 111 headaches in the following 30 days—an average of just one headache per person.
That’s a 92% reduction in headache frequency.
A Long-Term Solution Without the Side Effects
NUCCA spinal care addresses the underlying cause of many types of headaches rather than just covering up symptoms. By correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine, the nervous system can function more effectively—often resulting in fewer and less intense headaches, and in many cases, full relief.
