The High Cost
of Headaches
According to the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia
(CAA), the estimated annual costs associated with headaches in that
country, in terms of absenteeism and lost productivity, are $750
million. In the USA, the estimated annual costs are $16.9 billion!
Seems like headaches are causing quite a few companies, and entire
countries, a lot of money every year!
Since headaches are so routinely helped with chiropractic care, it
makes their financial and emotional costs seem so needless.
While there are many of the studies trying to quantify the cost of
headaches in the workplace, very few of these focus on issues, such as
quality of life, impact on the family, cost of out-of-pocket medical
care (e.g., medications and health care practitioner visits). These
costs, both tangible and intangible, take their toll on the headache
sufferer as well.
Sometimes, headaches can be a symptom of a more serious illness. They
can also be the result of many common causes, many of which can be
effectively addressed through regular chiropractic care. Chiropractors
are specially trained to locate spinal nerve disturbances. Then they
use spinal adjustments to correct these abnormalities and imbalances,
returning the nervous system to more optimal functioning, which in most
cases, relieves the cause of the headaches.
A recent study, conducted by Macquarie University in Australia, found
that chiropractic adjustments to the spine significantly reduced
migraines in 72% of the people surveyed. Often
over–the-counter and prescription pain relievers reduce the
pain (symptom), but they don’t correct the underlying spinal
problem that may be causing the headache in the first place.
Exercise caution when using pain medication to treat headache pain.
Aside from other negative side effects, the use of over-the-counter
medications may actually result in a “rebound
effect,” which triggers additional headaches!
