Have you ever wondered why it is that people get so much help while seeing a chiropractor? In my career I have been lucky enough to be able to follow the progression of research that has revealed the answer to this very question. The answer lies in the vast amount of research that has been done over the last 20 years on the nervous system and the brain. In this research we have uncovered that the reason the chiropractic adjustment is so powerful is that it affects the nervous system which is what allows us to sense pain.

As a chiropractor in San Diego who treats many headache sufferers, you’d think that most would think there’s a shortage of aspirin in their body leading to the cause of the headache. Headaches of course aren’t the result of an aspirin shortage in the body. But the way most people treat their headache by popping pill after pill you’d think it was due to a shortage. There are, however, many safe and effective treatment options for headaches. Some of them have been around for many years, and they have absolutely nothing to do with drugs surgery.
