.Headaches are more than just an inconvenience—they can be debilitating, affecting your work, mood, and overall quality of life. If you’ve been relying on over-the-counter medication or simply trying to “push through” your pain, there’s a safer, more natural solution worth exploring: chiropractic care
At Back In Line Integrated Health, Dr. Peter Marciante has helped countless patients find lasting relief from headaches—without drugs or invasive procedures. Through personalized chiropractic treatment, Dr. Marciante targets the root causes of headache pain, not just the symptoms. And despite outdated myths, chiropractic care is not only effective but also incredibly safe—with an extremely low incidence of stroke, contrary to what some may believe.
Let’s take a closer look at how Dr. Marciante helps patients overcome headaches and what the science really says about chiropractic and stroke risk.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Headaches
Most headaches, especially tension-type headaches and cervicogenic headaches, are closely tied to spinal misalignments, muscle tension, or nerve irritation—often in the neck and upper back.
Here’s how Dr. Peter Marciante approaches headache treatment:
1.
Precision Spinal Adjustments
Using gentle, targeted adjustments, Dr. Marciante restores proper motion and alignment to the spine—especially the cervical (neck) region. This reduces pressure on nerves and improves blood flow, helping to relieve and prevent headache pain.
2.
Muscle Release Techniques
Many headaches are linked to muscle tightness in the neck, shoulders, and jaw. Dr. Marciante combines chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue work to loosen tense muscles and relieve trigger points that can refer pain into the head.
3.
Postural and Lifestyle Coaching
Sitting at a desk all day, poor sleep posture, or long hours on screens can all contribute to chronic headaches. Dr. Marciante works with patients to correct postural habits, ergonomic issues, and even hydration or nutritional deficiencies that may be fueling their pain.
4.
Customized, Whole-Body Care
Every headache has a cause—and Dr. Marciante is committed to finding it. He takes time to understand each patient’s lifestyle, medical history, and symptoms to craft a personalized care plan focused on long-term relief.
Addressing the Stroke Myth: Chiropractic Is Extremely Safe
One of the most common misconceptions about chiropractic care—especially neck adjustments—is the risk of stroke. This concern is based on rare cases of vertebral artery dissection, which some have incorrectly linked to chiropractic adjustments.
But here’s what the latest research and clinical evidence show:
Extremely Rare Occurrence: The odds of having a stroke related to a chiropractic neck adjustment are estimated between 1 in 1 million to 1 in 5.85 million adjustments. To put that in perspective, you’re far more likely to be struck by lightning.
Stroke Symptoms Often Come First: In many reported cases, the patient was already experiencing neck pain and headache due to an evolving arterial dissection—and they happened to visit a chiropractor for help. In other words, the stroke caused the visit, not the other way around.
Chiropractic vs. Medical Visits: A major 2008 study published in the journal Spine concluded there is no greater risk of stroke following a chiropractic visit than after a visit to a medical doctor for the same symptoms.
Dr. Peter Marciante places a strong emphasis on safety and thorough assessment. Every patient undergoes a detailed evaluation before receiving care. If there are any red flags or symptoms that suggest a different underlying condition, he will refer you to the appropriate medical specialist.
