What to Do About Your Headaches

Chronic headaches can really affect your quality of life. Discover some relief through chiropractic care.headaches

Do you suffer from frequent headaches? Do you sit at a desk more days than not? Are you hunched over staring at a computer most of the day? Then no wonder you have headaches. Our bodies are not meant for such a sedentary lifestyle. Bad posture, poor office ergonomics and stress can all lead to severe tension in our neck, shoulder and back muscles. These issues can then manifest themselves in other ways such as headaches. Find out how our Bethesda, MD, chiropractor, Dr. Gina Beech, could help.

There are many ways that our Bethesda chiropractic doctor can help reduce the severity or frequency of your headaches:

Spinal Manipulation/Chiropractic Adjustments

Since a chiropractor’s job is to look for dysfunctions within the muscles, joints, tendons and other parts that make up the musculoskeletal system and to improve them, chiropractic care can be a great option for those who suffer from tension-related headaches due to neck problems. When you come in for your evaluation, we will perform a physical examination to check the alignment and health of the spine. From there we will determine if there are any misalignments that will require adjusting.

This manual manipulation works by applying a certain amount of force to certain areas near the spine to not only realign and correct certain vertebrae but to take unnecessary pressure off muscles, tendons or joints that may be causing your issues. By adjusting problems within the spine we can take pressure of the neck and improve your headaches.

Ergonomic Strategies and Lifestyle Changes

Along with chiropractic care we can also provide advice and lifestyle modifications that will help you manage your headaches better. These are usually simple strategies like changing the height of your desk chair or computer, or getting a more supportive and comfortable desk chair or swapping out for a standing desk.

We will also recommend that you take time every 30 minutes to get up from your desk and stretch. We would be happy to show you what stretches to perform everyday to help keep everything functioning properly.

What Our Clients Say About Us

  • "This was written on a yelp review of Dr. Beech. "This review of Dr. Gina Beech comes very easy to write. She is ot just a talented chiropractor, but she is also caring and generous with her patients. Her practice is pleasantly informal. It is a community. Everyone is friendly and dedicated to helping patients.
    I am a veterinary chiropractor and Dr. Beech's approach to patient care is similar to mine. I appreciate her combination of modalities: e-stim, ultrasound, and osseous adjustments. When needed, she will also recommend nutraceuticals such as Standard Process supplements.
    My work is often very physical and Dr. Beech keeps me running well. I am now seeing her almost weekly for my tune-ups. I find her care necessary and invaluable. I always feel great after treatment."

  • "Dr. Beech runs a great practice. She and her staff are accommodating and personable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for patients. I've had a wonderful experience going here. Dr. Beech provides excellent, effective treatment and I feel like I am in good hands when undergoing therapy for my neck/upper back injury. Moreover, there is little to no waiting time to go in to see the doctor when coming in to the office for an appointment, which is nice. Most importantly, I know I am receiving the right care and course of treatment needed to heal. I highly recommend Bethesda Back Center."

  • "I have been going to Dr. Beech for about eight years. When you enter her office, you are treated as if you are a friend entering her home. The atmosphere is friendly and laid back. Sometimes she personally answers phone call and e-mails. I have never experienced that with any other doctor. She spends as much time as she considers necessary with her patients. unlike many doctors who seem to be in a rush to see their next patient."
